phg 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2016 International Fly Tyins Symposium, Somerset, NJ, Nov. 19-20 Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Expo, Asheville, NC, Dec 2-3 Cherokee Hooks & Hackle, Cherokee, NC, Nov 4-5 The Fly Fishing Show, Somerset, NJ, Jan 27-29 (This is the big one!) The Fly Fishing Show, Atlanta, GA, Feb 3-4 (see the rest of the FF Show schedule here: http://flyfishingshow.com/ ) Virginia Fly Fishing and Wine Festival, near Richmond, VA in April (2017 date isn't posted yet.) I'm sure if I look, I can find a few more. There must be some in the TN, KY, Ohio, IN, MO area .... The Symposium and the Hooks & Hackle shows are fly tying only, but all the others feature fly tying, as well as casting, etc., etc. They are great opportunities to meet the legends of the sport, and to do a bit of shopping. I rarely find any significant bargains, but I can usually find tying stuff, that isn't available locally, for reasonable prices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rarely find any significant bargains, but I can usually find tying stuff, that isn't available locally, for reasonable prices. That's been my experience as well, and I always seem to pick up 1-2 good things from watching tyers and picking their brains. In addition to your list, there's usually a show in Lancaster, PA in early March that's smaller than Somerset, but fun. Also usually helps you avoid the white-knuckle driving that can come with late-January weather in the northeast (though that didn't hold true 2 years ago).

Also, @zip, or anyone else interested: The Somerset and Lancaster shows have an admission fee, but it's one of those "get it at the door" type of deals. You don't need to get anything ahead of time, just walk into the venue and they'll have a booth set up to handle admission. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vb1971 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2016 Wow. Fly typing symposiums!!!! Only in the USA!! The equivalent in Australia consists of 5 grumpy blokes in a fishing shop who will give you heaps of feedback on a few flies you have just tied. "That's shitl "A beauty mate " Oh and don't ask for pattern advice!!!! Keep up the great work America and preserve the art! Chers : Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
