Foxy-Tails February tying comp.

[ballingall512]

Right guys it's that time again.

It's a wee bit late for a January comp, so we will put this in place for feb. Giving you all loads of time to come up with your killer pattern.

The usual rules apply for the foxy-tails comp.



The fly MUST contain at least 1 material from the foxy-tails range.

The fly must be given a name.

A picture along with the a full list of tying materials, to be posted on the thread.

At the end of the month a poll will be run for 2 weeks to decide the winner.

The winner will receive a fabulous tying prize from the Foxy-tails range.

Happy tying and good luck
