Last lot of flies are in the mail - let's see if they survive the Norwegian and UK postal services.

« **Reply #141 on:** 31/01/2009 at 21:38 »

All flies have now arrived.

I will post photos as soon as, and hopefully we can get them marked fairly soon too

Very nice guys, VERY NICE

I would , but we still have yet to mark Iains flies

Not managed to get together since the last time

what can you do.
I'm afraid December and January results will probably be out at the same time

Sandy

Sandy

No problem. I'll stand the tension for another few weeks. I'm sure everyone appreciates the time you all put into doing the marking.

Irvine

« **Reply #145 on:** 03/02/2009 at 12:39 »

Might not have the last lot marked yet, but I have had time to photo the January entries.

I reckon they are fantastic, all different ways of doing something, but they all look awesome, well done guys!

Very impressive flies lads, well done

« **Reply #148 on:** 03/02/2009 at 19:10 »

The great thing about this competition is seeing how everyone has a different approach to the same basic design. I learn a lot from everyone else.
Nice tying lads.
