Good Day,
Hi all! Well the results are in and I placed!
http://www.skogmus.no/innhold/jf/MSO/MSO_norsk/MSO_resultatlister_2007.html
4th place in the Open Category and 9th in the Nymph
Category.
For those that may be unfamiliar with the Mustad
Open, it is widely accepted to be one of if not the
most highly respected fly tying competition in the
world right up there with other competitions such as
the Tuscany open. It is considered a great honor in
the fly tying community to place in the top ten. The
jury consists of Edvard Bergene, Torill Kolbu and Jan
Løndal. “The Prize Award Ceremony” takes place during
the “Hunting and Fishing Days” show, which is an event
attracting thousands of visitors. This competition
attracts the best of the best from around the globe.
The flies will be on display at The Norwegian Forest
Museum during the “The Nordic Hunting and Fishing
Festival” at Elverum.

Hi Chris…
Congrats on the 4th & 9th placings…
Your EP Mouse fly looks really cool. What would u use them for?
I figure they would be great on the Mongolian Taimen.
"On the river, all of the other parts of my life disappear: all worries, all stress, all thoughts of work, of what I have to do tomorrow or the next day, they are all gone. Fly fishing is about living in the moment, being so caught up in your casting and search for trout, that everything else disappears."

Good Day,
I would tend to agree on the Tiamen. Although i have not fished for them personally I have heard stories… hehe. The mouse body is made of a material called Enrico Puglisi fibers in the color called backcountry. This one is made to sink like a drowned mouse. I also tie them with a foam core to float. Around where I live we use them at night for big brown trout or sometimes for bass and pike, but mostly brown trout.

Enrico Puglisi fibers? I was wondering what the EP in the fly name stands for. Thanks for clearing that up! [:D]
Anyway, with regards to the taimen, I was reading an article about them and seems one of the best way to fish them is to rig up with a CHIPMUNK! Yep…you read right!!! haha I couldn’t believe it myself…until I saw the pic.
The taimen’s an awesome fish. I haven’t fished for them myself either…but got a few buddies who’s planning a trip there sometime this year or the next.
