Hi everyone,
I wasn't sure if anybody has mentioned the fly fishing conclave and banquet this weekend in Lethbridge. Here is some more information, and the website is
www.cwffc.ca
A fundraising event for local
child & youth outdoor programs
2013 Fly Fishing Conclave & Banquet Fly Tying Contest
Fly Tying Contest
In conjunction with our Conclave/Banquet on March 22nd-23rd we are having a fly tying and contest to create some friendly competition, but more importantly, to help raise funds for local youth groups. We urge everyone to participate regardless of how you feel about the flies you create. All flies submitted will be auctioned with the proceeds going to the event. So not only will you be showing off you talents but making a valuable donation. We ask that you submit the flies prior to or on March 22nd so we can display them at the conclave and attendees can vote for their favorites but we will accept them right up to the night of the banquet. Winners will determined by votes cast at the conclave and banquet. The number of prizes, will be determined by the number of entries as well as donations into the prize pool. Contest entry is free.
-You must submit a minimum of 12 flies and can submit more than 12 if you like
-You may enter as many times as you wish
-When you enter please specify which category you are entering. If you don’t specify the judges will place them in a category
-It is suggested that you enter them in a fly box (easier to auction) but loose flies will also be accepted. Remember we are trying to raise funds so the more enticing you make them the more they will fetch
-Flies will be displayed over the weekend anonymously (with a number and no name) and ballots will be provided so all attendees can vote for their favorite choices
-Flies will then be auctioned or raffled off with all proceeds going to the charities for the event
