These workshops cover places to fish, fly fishing techniques, fly casting instruction, fly tying instruction, and many other topics.

IN SIMPLE TERMS FLY TYING is the process of producing an artificial fly used by fly fishers to fool a fish into a false sense of security. Spend time with any of the Expo’s fly tiers and you will quick-ly see a grander perspective on the task. Attaching fur, feathers, floss and foam to a hook brings a connec-tion and joy to the pursuit which can only be felt by those who engage in the process. Those who take fly tying to the next level and then willingly contribute their knowledge to the fly fishing community merit rec-ognition. A special thank you to the expo’s fly tiers for their donation of time, expertise and personal financ-es to advance the art of fly tying. The expo would not have the same feel without your participation. A tip of the hat also goes out to Dave Gibson and the Great Western Fly Fishing Club for countless hours of orga-nizing and ensuring the fly tying aspect of the expos becomes a reality - your service is greatly appreciated.
