I don't see any reason why you can't join in, you wont win the overall thing, but you can still push the others in the monthly rounds. :wink
Start with  this month, and the Damsel. :z16

Hamish, you want to go to Stavangar in July when the Beach volleyball tournament takes place. Bollocks to the fishing, just go to watch :z16 :z12

Oh!     well done Mike L - the only entry with a bit of effort put into the paddles, a lesson to us all.

I'd like to say that my Alders will give you a run for your money but every time I look at the pic's of them they morph into something ...well, less Alder like.

Mike's Corixa was great, it really got us thinking! ...... it had been made with things like a hole in it to catch air bubbles with and an underbody designed to be re-coloured with pens as and when the corixa change colour, which they do on a regular basis :z17

I haven't got Mike's notes here I'm afraid .... perhaps Sandy can expand on what I've just said :wink

Cheers

And you were clever :z17 We had your flies sitting in a brandy glass full of water ..... they captured air bubbles on the way down and looked really cool when wet, I'm sure they would catch fish :wink

But yes, you're right, you must do better :z4  :z4  :z4

Not bad for foam flies that the instructions said would float
