Looks like a great event, thanks for posting! I did have a quick question on the rules as stated on the FB page.

"NO pellet immitations, no beige, brown, cream, or faded orange egg flies, etc. ANY use of aforementioned flies will result in blank for your entire session"

So no egg flies? How about mops? Basically, what does the etc. entail? Thanks

Rules

The rule has been clarified as no egg flies or pellet imitations at all. This is per venue request.
Mop flies are allowed.

Making fun of old people is not cool, and BTW - there is NO SENIOR DIVISION! I was again forced to compete with kids....
