canadagrey Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) I can't believe that the Sicilian Nympher, long time member and an executive of the club would turn down this very precidious offer.If you believe that his declining this offer makes you then let him know here.Heckling should not be a one way street.

RangerBob Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Agreed. I think it should be you two, for a true "Mexican Standoff", anyways I have turned the thread into a poll now. Cause.. well I know how. =) I think the top two voted for should have to go into "Hell's Kitchen!" but feel free to post the names of other victims here. VOTE FOR PEDRO!

Terry H Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Wow. Vince, the way you're collecting votes, you should run for Parliament (Minister of Fisheries maybe). Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Terry Maybe I should run for Parliament...big desk, good food (for free), free shoeshines, lots of staff to do the work and best of all...a great pension plan. O K, I'm in. I'm thinking Minister of All Things Crow....you could be my 2 IC. Morning meetings at Cinnamon Bear cafe and then off to the Crow.

Terry H Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Vince, sounds great -- let's go for it. In the meantime, looks like by popular demand, you're going to be an Iron Flytier. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Terry Have no desire to enter the Iron Fly Tyer...way to much pressure for this old guy plus it takes me so darn long to tye a fly we will be well into next years event before I finished the first fly. I'm thinking we need a good 8 more votes to go towards our Chairman. Come on buys and girls vote for Chairman Dave. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Vince: Voting for the chairman will not work. I'm the one with the secret ingredient, know it in advance and so it would not be fair. I'm still looking for a second competitor. Chairman Dave.

RangerBob Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Scratch I'm thinking you're on to something. VinceHonestly, I don't think Vince could tie his shoelaces. I've never seen him do that (very well) either. You can take him. I am just getting "warmed up" for the "Hecklefest!" (to be). P.M.S. - I just threw Scratch's name in to the hat above since he got marginalized.. erm.. nominated. Looks like he only needs 5 votes to beat Dave. Make it HAPPEN! P.P.M.S. - Make it a feminine hygiene product they have to tie with too eh Chairman? I will look forward to the naming of the patterns then. " " is already TM (RB) P.P.P.M.S. - I have no actual knowledge of feminine hygiene products, other then what the missus stocks in her cabinet... or sends me to the store to buy.

dave robinson Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Well, the Iron Fly Tyer went off OK. Vince was a no show, pleading illness As a result, Brain was the substitute chairman, and Yours Truly had to fill in as challenger #2 And an evil chairman took over. He gave us dork hats to wear too. He took away all our favourite tools and material except for scissors, hackle pliers, pliers and bodkin. Then he gave us a package consisting of four hooks, one hackle and three bungie cords. So one had to disassemble the bungie to get thread and other components . Dang but that stuff frays easily and is slippery as heck Needless to say it was a challenge Rick Leblanc rose to the challenge best and is the new Iron Fly Tyer. I came second and Barry White, the defending champ third. It was close though. Congratulations Rick!!! Just wait 'till next year!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuber Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Was an entertaining evening for sure! It would be interesting (and fun) to see the flies tested to see how they fair on the water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milelongleblanc Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Speaking of the flies, Dave, what happens to them afterward? I guess I was so surprised and excited to win, I got all flustered and forgot my work shirt there, and when I got home I thought of the flies. Unless there's some other allocation, I'd love to keep them. Someone joked about it, but I actually would frame them. They'd sure add alot to the telling of the story. But, if they got tossed it's not the end of the world. Anyway, thanks for a great night. I'll never forget it. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadagrey Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Congratulations to Rick as the new Iron Fly Tyer. Job well done by Rick, Dave and Barry. The participants weren't just thown to the wolves though as I had tried the same challenge to ensure it could be done. All 3 definately out performed my attempt. You should all try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Rick: As I said yesterday, the last time I saw the flies, Brian had them. Normally they woudl get photographed and stored in one of the library cupboards. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Troller Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I think that a good test of the patterns would be for Vince to be forced to fish for 1 hour with each wet and nymph pattern with a 8 wieght full sink line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milelongleblanc Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 You know, DT, you might have something there. Seems fair, since he declined despite being the poll winner. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Let me see... Three contestants, with one nymph and one wet fly pattern each = 6 flies. I don't think Vince has fished six hours subsurface in his entire life!! The idea might be enough for him to call in sick again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuber Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 ...I don't think Vince has fished six hours subsurface in his entire life!! ...Hmmm - I suspect that the same could probably be said about DT and top fishing with drys Maybe get both of them out, and DT fishes with the dry flies that were tied during the competition, while Vince fishes the others.

canadagrey Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Tuber: Do you want to partner in being the promoter for this event? I think we should call Ticketmaster and arrange to sell tickets for this event. I expect the demand will be out of this world. The cheap seats for $100 and up to $5000 for the Gold Section.
