I got my flies in the mail today, and I was totally impressed with the work of the other tyers.
I posted a bit on my blog about this, but since this is a NEFF event, I thought I owed the board a bit more commentary than just a thank you.
Andy Brasko, thanks for letting me participate. I was clearly in above my head on this one, and I thank you for your encouragement for ALL (even beginners like me) to participate regardless of skill level.
Again, all the flies were extraordinary.
Troutfever, you have progressed a lot more than I have. Excellent work. I was looking to compare my caddis to your cahill, and must say that I am very impressed with your work at this point.
Thanks again to Andy, and best to you and your family.
