how about we just recenter this topic where it belongs?

Professori said something in anger and frustration to a friend of his, and i'm sure that he would take it back if he could. He knows that, rick knows that, and really, anybody jumping on either of them only hurts the situation.

There's no need for everyone and their dog to weigh in on the topic, so if we could please just let it return to the vote and the flies tied for the competition, i know that most people would appreciate it.

I'll be the first:

While i normally only vote for a fly that i think is somewhat original, that's a pretty nicely tied general practitioner.

Maybe not as nice as that leech that was tied though?

agreed, consider it done!

Wow, that's likely the most epic b!%@# fest I've heard in a while

Just watched Kessler score from behind the net while on his belly with a Duck D-man on his back!

Thanks for trying to calm things down tbar, I hope people can take out their frustrations at their vises with some ultra competitive fly tying!!

Yes, there was a problem that was brought to my attention, by newsteelyman on Nov 13th, thank you. The problem was with the software after a software update, which I didn't know about or know how long it had been going on for. Unfortunately I was unable to fix the problem till yesterday. Thanks newsteelyman for bringing this to my attention, so it can be delt with. In the future if you are noticing something not working right, it only takes a second to send me a PM and I will try to fix it!

Well, I was undecide between the un-named and the Coquihalla Orange, because they are like a steelhead version of a traditional salmon fly. But wait! btree is a mod now, and I can't vote for the unnamed? Ouch, that hurts

I actually like them all - some are really buggy, some are pretty...comparing apples to oranges.

But I won't say who I voted for, just to keep it a surprise....

Couple more days left, get your vote in!

Should we do this again? What would be the Jan FOTM?

have you done chronomids yet? how about patterns with all mystery materials, i.e. antistatic bags, pompoms, tinfoil, carpet, lint.......just a thought to get some fresh new patterns. you never know the fish might like flys that are not made with store bought supplies:S

How about a Sculpin pattern? Always looking to tie (and fish) more of those little buggers !

how about steelhead patterns, always great to see what some of the better tiers can do?

Anything for still waters or steelhead is fine by me. Sculpins would be interesting as well.

Steelhead, stillwater, sculpins, you name it I am in either way. Didn't have time to get a tie together for December but if you decide to continue running FOTM I am in for January. Steelhead would be awesome as I am working on getting my Steelhead fly box filled up, it would be cool to see what other members are tying! I will get some more ideas once we get our Steelhead fly swap fly's back also.
