| Several people have suggested I put my competition flies here on the site. I hate to toot my own horn, so to speak, but I thought perhaps some of these patterns might give folks some ideas or inspiration. So here are my entries in the 2005 Mustad Scandinavian Open. This contest focuses on proportion, balance, symmetry, tying skill, and overall look of the fly. What I like about it is you get back comments on your entries from the judges, telling you what is good about it, or needs improvement. This is good way for me to really "get into" my own abilities and try to improve.
