2003 FLY TYING CONTEST


We're ready for our 2003 fly tying contest! This year's contest is a little different from other years. This year we're going to have more emphasis on technique and materials versus specific fly categories. Have fun, and good luck! We will have great prizes for each week's winner. Prizes to be named at a later date.
