Jury has just finished with work. It took them 8 hours to judge all flies (more than 80 different patterns), so please expect the results soon. We still don´t know the names of the fly tiers, so results have to be merged with names first. Then we have to verify them and after that, they will be posted. Each fly tier will receive a formal letter about his/ her result.
