Well folks, we had a good run. After about 20 years, the Rendezvous as it exists now has ceased to exist. The Fly Fishing Arts & Conservation Society is dissolving. We are filing the paperwork with the state of Oregon after there was nobody willing to serve on the Board of Directors anymore. The event may be picked up by another entity. I sure hope so. I was involved for 13 years and really enjoyed knowing everyone. See you around, I hope. - Robin Healy

Well that's it then for that show.....too bad. It was enjoyable and fun. Now I'm wondering about the annual March show in Albany. Hope it is continued. I've attended that event for many years including when it was held at the fairgrounds in Eugene. My buddies and I would combine that with a trip to fish March Browns on the McKenzie. Might just be a memory filed away as the "good old days"
I was just looking at this online, adding it to my calendar and I hope to be there.
Not the same event.
Understood....the Portland event in November is gone, the March event in Albany is on again and this is the one to which I was referring. I enjoyed both and am glad to have at least one of them back.
We will be headed down to checkout the show in Albany, several major brands were friends with who have attended east coast shows this years for fly tying have said there was a huge resurgence of participation. We're hoping that will be the same here in the PNW!
So when is this show?

From the beginnings in Eugene to the current event in Albany, the Expo has always been well worth a look see for anyone into fly tying or fly fishing.
When the Expo was held in Eugene, we too would do some demonstration fly tying during the morning sessions then head over to the McKenzie or Willamette for the MB hatch. Those were indeed "the good ol' days".

I haven’t taken up tying yet (I know, I know…) but am interested in the event. Those that have gone in the past, is there general fly fishing content here or is it dedicated to the art of tying only?
LOTS of fly tying. I'm guessing that someone not interested in fly-tying might very well not get too much enjoyment out of attending. I could be wrong..............
Do you know if there’s vendors there so I can buy materials I don’t need?
