Mikastorm,
That little man waving the stick is beginning to haunt my sleep. For some reason it reminds me of a "maritime Chuckie" or worse...The fact that he appears to walk on water and is a lefty makes it worse. Is he a "fisher of men" or is he as evil as he appears??? Oh, I will bust my hump to attend the one fly this year. It seems like a great way to meey you all. And please leave the Chuckie doll avitar looking dude at home or I will bring Mrs. Beasly or Dapper Dan to kick his evil ass...

Dude I happen to have a Mrs Beasley doll here  I bought for my wife a couple of years ago.....  I doubt she would let her out of her case for Battle though  LOL

Status: offline 		Uncle Kevin,
    I/we try to promote C&R in the "One Fly" and in most cases on the tribs.  But even I have to admit that if I manage to catch a nice brown or a really fresh "chromer" they're heading for the skillet/smoker.  And yes we do use the Honor System for the "One Fly". We achieve this by usually blind pairing of the folks, so that you are not only a team you are also in competition (sort of like Jeff Gordon and JR) and that helps keep things honest. Also there is NO ENTRY FEE and no prize money, and as long as I can help it there never will be. I encourage people to donate stuff to help make the thing better but I will never turn anybody away if they don't bring anything.  That's just not the way to build friendships.  I have met some of the best people through this and you would be suprised at the quality of the stuff we have to give away.  But I'll let one of the other participants from last year reinforce that.
    I think the only time we would question somebody would be if they claimed  6 fish caught when everybody else was skunked.  That's why I suggest a digital camera.  No cheating has ever occured, and I hope it never will, because this is supposed to be a get-together/rendezvous type thing.  If someone has a win-at-all-costs attitude then I think they would be better served somewhere else.  Just my opinion.  Hope something turns so you can make it up.

Status: offline 		As one of Indsguiz's elves, I can also confirm this is not a competition so much as a good time to catch up with old friends and make new ones.  When we worked up the format the idea was to have some type of challenge and that is the one fly rule.  Beyond that the only other requirement is to have fun.  In all honesty, the idea of the One Fly was to have an excuse for a group of guys to get together and enjoy some time on the stream.

All of the prizes are donated and it is our intention to see that as many people as possible walk away with something, but the real prize for me is knowing that a whole bunch of great people had a good day on the streams and enjoy themselves.

If you are a super competative person looking for a high stakes fishing tournament, this is most likely not what you want, but if you are a regular guy wanting to have some fun with a bunch of other regular guys then the One Fly is for you.

I look forward to meeting all you guys on the 11th.  Hopefully we will have some good fishing conditions.

Status: offline 		Gentlemen,
    I'm adding this to make things easier for those who wish to help out!  First:  THANK YOU   Second:  If you want to bring food  Please PM Skip 16503.  If you want to donate a prize or stuff for prizes (s) like flies, line or leaders, hats shirts ect. please e-mail me at:  hemilovr@hotmail.com.  or pm Bughawk.  Just so we know what is coming and we can figure out what place the prizes go to.  My only IF is if you wish to donate for 1st, 2d, 3d, place team awards I'll need two of whatever since it is two man teams.  If you just want to donate a door prize then just 1 of something will do.   If you are insanely rich and want to donate a pair of Orvis rods > > >  I'm sure Bug and I could form a team  LOL!

   Didn't really plan it that way.  We decided on our date way back in May/June and figured they would have theirs the end of Sept, as usual, and so I have always scheduled for Columbus Day weekend.  When they scheduled for the same day I moved my start/end times around so folks could attend both.  Hope it works out well for both groups.  I know I am going to try to get to both events.

As I said I'll give you a definate when it gets closer(end of Sept. if thats cool), and we will bring food if we can make it.....

It will be ironic though, because Ive still never caught a steelie on a fly rod.  Caught em on flies with a noodle, but never a fly-rod.  This will be a challenge, but getting to hang out with you guys will be fun.  I hope Skip makes shrimp....

I need a little vacation anyways. So I'll be up wednesday night thru sunday. If anyone want's to share a drift or some beers around the fire thurs/fri before the One Fly hit me up.

Status: offline 		WoW!  Joedv1218,
    If you had to tie your own fly I don't think I'd even be allowed to participate in the "One Fly" let alone organize it.  I am the worst tie flyer ever.  Every time I try to tie it comes out as "lint on a hook"  (with feathers).
  I can build a bamboo rod to catch the critters on but I sure can't tie a fly.
  Buy what you want, just remember to bring two and let me know if you're in.
   The skill of some of the guys who will be there amazes me.  I get a thrill just seeing some of the stuff people tie to donate.  And some guys like to show off some pretty exotic stuff.   Plus everybody sems eager to help another out.   Good Folks.
 
Pxatim,  I know what you mean.  What's the use of driving 508 miles just to put on a fishing contest. I'll be up on Thursday night.  It would make a good commercial:  Gas to drive 1,000 miles round tip  $200
                         Building a bamboo flyrod to give away  $400
                         Three days in a hotel  $500
                         Getting to spend a day with some of the greatest
                         people I've had the privelege to meet  -  PRICELESS

Don't worry about being a beginner.  The whole idea of the One Fly is to have fun and enjoy hanging out with some great people.  There really is no serious pressure.  Some of the guys who come are excellent fly fisherman and then there are the rest of us who hardly know what we are doing.  Basically, come down if you can and do the best you can and learn a few new things.
