Thanks guys! I cannot believe that this happened. But the judges loved the pattern and things have really been exciting this year for me. Anxious to see where this takes me. A lot of doors are opening up.
As a plug for the contest, I think if you have a unique pattern, DON'T be afraid to submit it to the contest. You only have to send in pictures until the end when the decide the finalists. It is a great opportunity and they had wonderful prizes. This year they are working on some more good stuff. I will still be sending in some stuff I am starting to create but it will just be for fun. Highly recommend you go to:
FlyTyingContest.com
There are some really great patterns on there too.

Killer job!
Maybe your award winningness can grace our presence at the jam for a tying demo. No?

I will have to see, it has been hard to get away for any length of time with the farm and young family. I would be fun though I am sure.

Sometimes I wish I would have kept some of those early ties to be able to see how far I have come.

Congrats DJ!
I always did like that nymph in your avatar (very unique and original), I'm not surprised it was a winner.

Cool dj, glad to see you won. I seen one of you're chain stone flys and decided to tie a couple. I put one on my hat and now I know who the original tyer is. I have not tried it yet but had a few people really admire it.I use a dyna king vise which really hold the chain pretty good with out any damage to the beads. Cool tie........
