What the HAY! Tuesday, Thursday, what's the difference? Ready. Set. Go!

Everyone likes flowers/plants right?? Especially me! I see a few every day here in the play area so I'd like to do this one for Challenge #22. If I may, I'd like to offer a small prize of a dozen Dry Flies; of my own invention and uniquely tyed called the "Wallywing" to the winner.

And the Winner is… I put the names into a hat and out came Pete! I’m not qualified to pick the best from among so many greats! I won’t venture into designating a second or third place as that wouldn’t be fair to all those that are equally as good. A big thank you to all the participants.

Pete please send me a private message with your addie and I’ll remit your dry flies.

[monty28428]

Congrats Pete - Good job!!

[Richard_Miami]

Great shot Pete.. congrats!

[Apollo11]

Many gorgeous shots in this competition. Kudos to all, and congrats for the win, Pete!

[airfrogusmc]

Way to go Pete....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[-Pleiades-]

Hey Wally, I'm just curious (or rather my husband is) as to what sort of flies you are giving away and targeted for what sort of fish?

My husband is a mad keen fly fisherman and is always wanting to meet more people and find out more about it. :D

[Flo]

WTG Pete........Happy Fishing!!!!:D

Thanks Wally ,for the subject as well!

They're Trout flies; imitating ephemera. Again thanks, greats shots.

[Robuk]

Congrats Pete............... Great shot........ and make sure we see the fish pics from your "trout flying" :)

Loved the shot by dwarfmcdougal too :)

[Pete]

Wow.... There's some really awesome photos here, I really didn't think I'd have a chance with my humble poppy!!

I'm really chuffed by that, thanks very much!

[Pete]

Wally. If that offer of fishing flies was on offer, I'd like to donate them to Pleiades, I'm sure he'll make more use of them than I.

I'll get another competion up shortly (once I've thought of a subject!)

[Athena]

WTG Pete - both on the win and on your fly generosity. ;) :D

dwarfmcdougal - I love your entry. :)

You bet Pete; yours to do with as you please. Pleiades, your hubby is going to get the flies. Please send your address and I'll send them along.

Many thanks, Wally. A most generous offer indeed.
