Members jim murphy Posted October 27, 2006 Members Posted October 27, 2006 AMEN, loo10, AMEN! Okay then, why not have a CONTEST? There are a number of good tiers out there that may just take part in something like this. Plus, it gives those who think they are such talented tiers, who look down at us average tiers, the opportunity to show off their unmatched skills. jim
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 27, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted October 27, 2006 Huh? Contest? To copy a pattern? Or is your post 'tongue -n- cheek'? I can't tell!! If you want to copy Bret's scuds... good luck!!
jdmidwest Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I agree with Jim and Loo10, I think we should let out some of our "Patent Patterns". My patterns have never made me a fortune, but they catch fish. I will start a new thread on the fly recipe portion. Copy away and tye one on.. GO CARDS!!!!!

Members fish hunter Posted October 28, 2006 Members Posted October 28, 2006 Here is my best scud pattern. Feel free to tweek & improve as you may. Many 30" fish have fallen victim to this tried and true pattern!!!!
Micheal Kyle Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 If the fly tiers on this site wish to have a contest I think that it would be great. I feel that it would be just like the fly tying contest that happen with Southern Council Federation. I do belive that the pattern was a Grey Ghost. So I say have at, and good luck. I feel that any good fly tier can match to the tee any fly. It's just like the Mohair Leech I did not come up with pattern but I do sale it in my shop. But I do always give credit where credit is do and the person that showed me the pattern a few years back now works for me MR.Jim Murphy. I also asked him before we started saleing them in shop.

Members jim murphy Posted October 30, 2006 Members Posted October 30, 2006 Phil, Thanks for the laugh, . It was actually Copenhagen between my cheek and gum. I am sure I could come up with an original creation of my own to enter into a tying contest, and I believe a number of other tiers could do so as well. If you want to copy Bret's scuds... good luck!! Though numerous people have asked me how he ties them, I have not really wanted to tie Brett's scuds, but thanks for wishing me luck in trying to COPY them. jim
Members Robert Posted October 30, 2006 Members Posted October 30, 2006 Rick, I agree with you for what it is worth. How about the Royal Coachman, now the Royal Wulff. Modified and maybe for the better. Does this make Lee Wulff a bad guy or a man who liked a fly and improved on the origional? Jim Murphy ties the best Leech there is going. He has been very kind with me, and showed me how to tie the leech. In fact if there was a fly tieing contest my money would be on Jim!!
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 30, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted October 30, 2006 I think Mike Kruse created the Mohair Leech. Laughed at the scud pic- good one. Fly tying contest... will have to give this some serious thought. Should start a new thread.
Micheal Kyle Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Of all the history of the Mohair Leech I would have to say that Shane Stalcup is the one that came up with pattern that we all now know as the Mohair Leech. To Know People Is To Know Thier Ways!
