Intro
A historical archive
FlyMeister 2001 was the first and - until now - only flytying contest that we have ever had on the Global FlyFisher.It took place in connection with the International Flytying Symposion in 2001, and was one of the few occasions where the GFF staff got together in person.
In April 2025 I bumped into the data and images from back in 2001 and thought it would be fun to revive it - for sentimental and historical reasons. We like to keep old content alive and online here on GFF, as you might know.
We spent quite a bit of time and ressources finding sponsors, prizes and judges, and ended up with a very decent lineup of both, and even though the logistics were pretty tough to handle, I whink we managed to get out most of the prizws and give the the tyers what they deserved.
You can read a long story and see lots of pictures from back then - and get an impression of what we each experienced as arrangers.
Unfortunately not all the flies were photographed, and because of that some of the entries are not illustrated. I chose to include them enyway - again for historical and archival reasons.
