August Fly-Tying Challange ~ Terrestrials ~ Trial voting system

MillCreekMinnow · Aug 16, 2023

Welcome to just now! The rest of this month's fly-tying challenge is a bit Extra... Terrestrial, that is! Hoppers, ants, cicadas, roaches....... Maybe not roaches, but beetles for sure.... DO NOT POST ANY PRAYING MANTIS PATTERNS! They just deserve better than that.

Giving a new format for choosing a contest winner a shot. Submissions will be narrowed down to 2-5 that will be reposted individually. Cast your vote by hitting the like button on your favorite fly or flies. This way everybody has some input on the winner. If folks do not care for this change, suggestions are welcome. I will repost the finalists later tonight after feedback from some other members. Vote for one, some or all if you like. Finalists posted in no particular order. Please stand by......
