Fly Tying Symposium

That one is just too far from Texas to make that drive, but I plan to attend most the shows in this region and will be helping at many of them.  I enjoy them.

Hi all, and for others that were there, we can agree that it was a fun show packed full of all sorts of tiers! Re: attendance, I can tell you that it was about average for the Symposium. Saturday was a packed day, and new this year was a fly tying contest that was won by a tier around 12 years old...doesn't get better than that! There were a number of tiers that came in from other countries, plus we got to see David Klausmeyer (editor of Fly Tyer magazine) present that Fly Tyer of the Year Award to Barry Ord Clarke at the Saturday Banquet.

Great photo Pete...and you're oh so right about the memories of days gone bye-bye. First thing I noticed was that Ekich vise in the middle. One of the finest pieces of fly tying equipment on the planet...if you want to wait several years for and can afford one.

I've attached 1 or 2 of my own pictures from 2016 to add to the fond memories.
