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.
