Default Gauntlet to Scratch
As some of you may have seen in a previous post of mine, (Leilas winning fly) my daughter said Scratch knew nothing when he offered constructive criticism on her second ever fly. She said she was going to tie a buzzer, well her sister and her have. I tied one fly and they copied it in their own style, see what you think.

Think you are safe for a little while Rob, but be warned she is out to get you

Leila is 9 and Kiera 11. These are only the third flies they have done, with no help from me.

Stunning work there ladies!

1st place - Keira. I love this kind of minimalist/anorexic approach to buzzers.
2nd place - Leila. Very natural looking. Well done.
3rd Place - Graham. Not pushed yerself there mate. Try harder next time.

Now that I have this photo lark almost sorted I will be boring you all to tears with my modest efforts.
One must aspire to greater things, so keep setting the bar higher Rob.

Kids flies are the business !

My son (aged 8) tied a fly for my mate and proceeded to beat me Saturday 5-3, four of his to 'the' fly.

Same fly managed to winkle out a trout on a difficult evening at Garnffrwyd, I blanked
