Fly Contest
The tyers have certainly been busy. It's amazing what some real winter weather does for fly production. Two weeks ago I was in a bit of a panic about the tyers' lack of progress. All that changed with about 16 inches of snow and subzero temperatures. Here's a pile of flies Sam wrapped up in only five days last week.
These are size ten drakes. Any idea how many? I'll give you each 3 guesses and the contest will stop on March 1st or when someone gets the correct answer. We'll toss in a hint here or there if you need it. I tell you now that the number doesn't land on an even dozen. It's more that 100 and less than 1000.
Please post your guesses as a comment. Winner gets an Old AuSable Fly Shop gift certificate. Good Luck!
