Will you tyers be rockin' a PNWFF cow-bucker or some kinda sticker? How will we find you?

Maybe we need a secret gang sign

I'll be wearing my PNWFF old man hat

I am looking at Friday. Will bring along some of my work that some of you have been so curious to see.

There has already been a thread or two, but wanted to make an official post about our attendance.

I will personally be at the Expo with a PNW Fly Fishing Forum booth. Going to be there to try and spread the word about what we're doing here in hopes to bring more in to our community.

Anyone attending, please stop by and say "Hi!" You can grab some stickers or any other shwag we may have laying around. Could even help us pass out stickers and flyers

I'll be there and will stop by.

 

[NWFFO]

Our team will be there with four of our guides tying and one presenting. Tyers from NWFFO will be Eric Leininger, Colby Olson, Spencer Pelham, and Gabe Golobay with Spencer doing a talk on the Clackamas River Spey fishing. As there are always plenty of trout and steelhead flies being tied at this event, our team will mostly be focused on tying flies for warmwater species of smallies, carp, and tiger muskie.

I’ll be there from the Far East….I look forward to meeting you face to face.

I could use another year of practice…
It’ll be fun and I’ll give it my best efforts.

I’ll be heading West on Weds for the Expo. Hopefully, we make it in between storms. Will be tying on Friday for two sessions.
1. 11:45-2:15, table #15 - Variations on the Gartside Soft-Hackle Streamer
2. 2:45 - 5;00, table #56 - Variations on the Myakka Minnow
Will also be staying for banquet and auction. See you all there.

Heading west tomorrow, tying middle session both days. Been at the show every year and tying all but two, thanks to Alec Jackson. It’s a long ways from Spokompton.

I'm tying as many tiger musky flies as I can during both sessions...hope to see some familiar faces.
Friday: 9-11:30, table 27
Saturday: 2:30-5, table 29

Still TBD if I'll stay overnight down there. leaning not.

Fashionably Late

Hair, nails, dress all done up…you’ll look ma’velous da’ling.

The paparazzi await your grand entrance.

All right, got all my fly tying stuff packed up. Sure hope I didn't forget anything cause I dunno if I'll be able to find anything fly tying related!

It's like going on a fishing trip, "can I still do this even if missing a thing or two?" reel? no....rod? no....4x tippet? of course!
