Subject: [VFB] FOFF Rules- Summary so far/nominees
Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 09:04:20 -0800
Here's a compilation of rules posted so far.  A FOFF'er needs to have at
least five to qualify.  You may nominate someone else that you know well, 
or
you may nominate yourself if no one else on the list is close to you.  You
must list the reasons why you or they qualify.  This should be fun.

When it's all done, then the charter members can nominate the 'poster 
child'
for the Fanatical Flytier.

Monte's contribution:
1. Raising game for tying purposes.
2. Anything involving the family pet(s) and the ensuing procurement of
tying materials.
3. Causing a traffic jam in your pursuit of road kill
4. Making your own hooks
5. Dyeing your own materials not to save money, but to get 'just the
right' shade.
6. Anyone who uses bark, tea leaves, roots, etc to dye materials.
7. Taking a vacation to tie flies
Rene's contribution:
8.  Searches through waste cans/dumpsters for tying supplies.
Don's contribution:
9.  Name on 'call list' at taxidermist (at least one) for scraps.
10.  Owns more tying gear and materials than fishing gear.
11.  People think of you first as "The fly tier", even before your
profession.
12.  Has more fur and feathers than he/she could ever use in a lifetime, 
and
sees no reason not to collect more.
13.  Has a library for fly-tying.
14.  Has an dedicated area for fly tying that never gets used for anything
else.
15.  Not only has combed/clipped a fur-bearing pet, but has harvested their
whiskers for antennae.
16.  Ties a 19/0 fly, then a size 32 Mustad fly.  (Need that one so I can
get in)
17.  Takes up photography, buys gear, just to support/photograph the
flytying hobby.
18.  Has a web site for flytying.
19.  Gets a rush from seeing Whiting Cree or exotic bird plumage.
20.  Ties classic Atlantic Salmon Flies
