Flymen Fishing Co. announces fly tying contest with over $2,500 in prizes from Thomas & Thomas, Hareline Dubbin, and Loon Outdoors.
Flymen Fishing Company is calling all fly tyers to enter their online fly tying contest for a chance to win prizes including a handmade Thomas & Thomas fly rod. Fly tyers enter by tying a fly that integrates Flymen’s new Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail in some way (Faux Bucktail does not necessarily need to be the primary material), taking a photo of it, then posting the photo on Instagram, tagging @flymenfishingco, @thomasandthomasflyrods, @harelinedubbin, and @loonoutdoors in their post, and hashtagging #FauxBucktailThrowdown2017.
The Flymen team will vote to choose 1 weekly winner for 6 weeks. Winners will be announced on the Friday of each week. Each weekly winner will be sent a prize pack with product and swag from all four companies involved ($150+ retail value).
“The criteria for winning can be anything from realism to creativity, so we want fly tyers to go crazy with their designs,” said Martin Bawden, founder and head product designer of Flymen Fishing Company. “We love seeing innovative ideas. So far we’ve seen everything from nymphs to Clouser Minnows to giant musky streamers tied with Faux Bucktail.”
At the end of the 6 weeks, Flymen will re-post the 6 winning flies on a webpage for a voting period. After the voting period, the grand prizes will be given to the fly tyers who tied the flies with the most votes.
The grand prizes:
1st place – Thomas & Thomas Avantt fly rod ($825 value – model of the winner’s choice).
2nd place – Hareline Dubbin fly tying dream kit ($500 value – winner’s choice of materials).
3rd place – Loon Outdoors Fishing With A Conscience goodie box ($300 value – winner’s choice of product).
1. Tie a fly that integrates Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail in some way (Faux Bucktail does not necessarily need to be the primary material) and take a photo of it.
