One more try. Is anyone interested in having a "Best New Fly of 2003" Swap? It sounds like a great swap where all the flies will be proven winners. I'll host if anyone is interested.

For many VFBers, the 2003 fishing season is winding down, and we get a
chance to reflect on the experiences we've had.

Here's a suggestion for a survey (please participate!)

Just jott down your own list of Bests for the 2003 season.

Mine would be:

BEST OF 2003
new fly discovery: McCarty's GT (General Terrestrial)
new flytying material: bronze or imitation pheasant tail lite brite
flyfishing connected experience: light plane flight over Trinity Alps,
Marble and Salmon Mountains in n. California
misc: participation for the first year in VFB and Westfly.com Oregon
forums
gear buy: new 8-9wt Ozuma ML magnesium wide arbor reel off eBay at $65

goal: participate in a tying expo this coming year

other possibilities:
biggest (or most memorable) fish:
most memorable fishing day and place:
most valuable ff lesson learned:
new and helpful flytying tool:
most helpful ff or flytying publication/book:
favorite new CD to tye to:

and so on...

I won't have time to compile these ala Jimmy D., but for those
participating and the VFB list, the answers and tips should be
entertaining and helpful.
