I won't be going this year. Between the drive and head I'm just not ready for it. A few asked to see me there, just won't be this year.
I just realized today that it's next weekend! Snuck up on me, I'm still planning on going but have some details to work out!

Hopefully they'll take cash.. I will probably camp though and bring food. Didn't like my card for some reason.
They'll be happy to take your cash when you first enter/pay your entry fee (FFI members are free). They do, I've been told, run out of banquet tickets for those arriving late Friday or Saturday.

I'm not familiar with Clarkmans, but I'm game!
I thought it was a restaurant! Ooh! What's on the menu @clarkman ??
big articulated things...like these:
I'll probably do a number of singles as well since they're a little quicker and easier to give away...
I would eat those!! I fight pretty hard.. when hooked in the mouth.. might need an 18 wt!

Just Hatched
Newb here , recently went to the fly show in Bellevue and heard about Albanys show. I have not ever attended and was wondering how weird it would be to bring my vice in my purse ? Wondering if allowed to tie while watching or is this strictly watching. I’m super new to tying and I have a blast learning. Plan on meeting again Mr Kuni as he told me about Albany's show just figured I’d ask. Thanks in advance .
Bring it! While I haven't gone before and am planning to, at least for Saturday, since I have an appointment I can't cancel on Friday morning, I am planning on tying on Saturday. Just have to decide what to bring with me. I plan on tying the Olive Willy and some steelhead patterns. Probably tubes and some articulated stuff!
