Random notes on the "One Fly"

gentlemen,
I'm posting this away from the "One Fly" post to just say that I am thrilled and amazed at the spirit and the grace shown by the members of this board. the little event that I started as a whim (the "One Fly") Has taken on a whole new meaning to me, and to many others on this site. I want to thank all those who help, donate, or just plain show up for a day of fun. Believe me it couldn't be accomplished without the donation of a lot of time and effort by some very devoted folks. So I'll say it early and often.

Go fish: <.))}}}><

    jack, with your persuasive gift of gab, might you be able to get our good friend, bughawk, to make an appearance?  sure do miss the big guy.

    gentlemen,
    Just adding that we still need a person (s) to donate the give away flies for the event this year. I was thinking of a red/white/blue wooly bugger if we could get 5-6 people to make up 20 ea, then it would be a gas. Heck I might even try to tie some! (Epic Fail)

    Indy - Count me in for 20 - let me know if you need more.

    This is what I'll be tyin for the fly giveaway - per Indy. He wanted something in Red, White, and Blue - closest thing to blue marabou I have is purple though. I'll be stoppin at the shop tomorrow for that and more hooks. I'll keep on tying past 20 unless someone wants to join in on the fun. If you do - let me know so I know when to stop

    Something odd here? I still haven't heard from some of the famous names for the "One Fly". Where are: dano, Loopy, FFDave, DT, Anadoromus, Loomis, IwishIwasafisherman, Old Brown Trout, spoon. etc.

    Gentlemen,
    Please note the change to this years rules. All fish must be legal sized to be entered, with the exception of one small fish which can be used to break ties. Again, since there is no legal size on gobies, , ,?

    ah... eliminate the smolts from the competition...

    Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    Oddly that was the biggest (and almost the only) complaint I had from last year. And since with this event majority usually rules, I changed the rules. I hope nobody is too upset about this decision.

    Indy

    I can tie up some Red/white/blue buggers.........when do you want them by?

    I could probably put together a set of flies with a box to give out to a youngster

    actually I like the idea. it may actually change how/where people fish to avoid wasting time on them now.

    Gentlemen,   I just realized that I forgot to ask something!  if your team has a junior, dub junior, female or senior on it please let me know so I can note it and determine prizes.  Right now I only know of 5 Jr's for sure and no sub juniors, and two females.  My mistake.

    Attention All would be "One Fly"ers! If you think you might want to attend but aren't sure. Please let me know so I can save you a slot because we are coming up on the cut off number (110).
    I still need to hear from: Iamafisherman, Loopy, Loomis, genieman and a few more. If you want in; but may not be able to attend just let me know. Also we need to know who will attend the "Night Before".

    Just wanted to add that 2 rods are done! Including the restoration of the rod donated by, , , I'll let him announce himself or just be the presenter at the event. 2 more to go! Just having a tough time finding small ferrules for a "project" rod. Anybody out there have two sets of 10/64ths ferrules (that match) or even smaller? 9's would work. 8's would be fantastic. Again I'd like to thank everyone who is putting in so much work on this event.
