Penns Clave Contest
Okay, this started off as a thread over in ROFFT about a discount on a
fly tying materials cabinet. I mentioned that I had just done some clean out of my tiny little fly boxes and put the seriously nasty flies that I'd made over the years in a one gallon plastic jar (formerly the home of two dozen Costco Biscotti). These are flies that I tied when first learning how to tie, attempts at patterns described to me, or just nasty abortions tied whilst under the influence. There may even be a rotten banana stone fly in there. Jeffy comes along and suggests a contest for the Blue Rock Hole at Penns. Participants will either select or be given one or more flies from said jug. You have two hours to fish with these flies at the assigned beat. There will be two prizes, one for the biggest fish caught and one for the most fish caught. The prize will be that the other participants will buy the winners all the Budweiser (sorry, no substitutions allowed) they can drink at the Millheim (or the Sportsmans Club, depending on where we end up) that night. Anyone in? Hey, if you all have some really nasty (so this precludes flies tied by clavemeister Tom) flies that you would like to donate to the jug, I will judge them not worthy and chuck 'em in. In all fairness to our Left Coast brethren, I can bring "The Jug" to the Western Clave and we can repeat the exercise. -- Frank Reid Euthanize to reply |

Have all participants handicap the flies beforehand: --really bad = 2 fish credited --bad = 1 fish credited. That way, there is agreement beforehand on which are the ugly ones that folks predict won't work. --riverman |

In all fairness to our Left Coast brethren, I can bring "The Jug" to the Western Clave and we can repeat the exercise. I am most definitely in. If I can talk Suzie into it, I might even supply some genuuuiiiiinne, home made biscotti that'll make that Costco stuff taste like sawdust. May even add it to the prize if all are willing. As far as "nasty" flies are concerned, I'm a friggin' expert. I'm sure there a few disasters lurking about these parts that'll challenge even Willi to catch a fish.

Count me in for the fishing.....you ruled me out of fly contribution, but rest assured, we have both caught fish on my castoffs, so I can do likewise with yoursg Tom |

You against Willi, troutfishing, mano a mano? Are you a betting man? Because if you are, I have a sporting proposition for you. On second thought, never mind. Willi would never be so crass as to agree to a fishing competition. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

Of course I read your post as a spoof. But you mentioned my (real) name, in what I took to be a deprecatory tone. You wrote, "i am gonna take my place alongside steven [sic] barnard as one of the greats of fly fishing in the last 50 years." Where the **** do you get off with that? Are you calling me a braggart?

Count me in. Hell, you won the "Orange Caddis Fly" contest a couple years ago.
I'd be honored to participate in your contest. What are you going to call it - "The Frank Reid **** Fly Contest?" Joel Axelrad **DFD** |
