Fly Tying Expo; Albany, OR. March 8 & 9?

[clarkman]

Who's gonna be there? I'll be whipping up some BIG bugs the first session on Friday and the last session on Saturday! Would love to swing by some other tables of members this year (didn't get a chance last year).

Tyin’ the first two sessions on Friday…last two sessions on Saturday.
Will have to knock the rust off the ol’ fingers…(it’s been about four years since I whipped up any flies).

[Edited: corrected and added tying times.]

 

[Dr. Magill]

I’m tempted
Not to tie just to see

 

[PhilR]

I’ll be there. It’s always a good time.

 

[mcswny]

I’ll be there. I need to get some materials I don’t need.

I’d like to find some good hen capes for those basically almost but not quite 4” game changers I like to tie

yeah, I'll be after some of those rooster capes with relatively long, but thicker and nicely webbed. Two of the ones I got last year were nearly perfect in that regard with a nice combo of long and short, but thicker.

Luv me some expo! Looking forward to watching Randy do his magic.

A great event in many ways. I'll be there volunteering at the entry table, gabbing, back slapping, shopping, bidding and getting involved with various shenanigans.

I am signed up for the last two sessions on Friday (table 15/56). Will be traveling over from Bozeman to tie up a few SW flats patterns this year. Had a great time last year. Fantastic Expo.

If you have ever seen him @clarkman tie one of his “little” flies, you know he does just that when done. It’s quite the spectacle at the Expo and one not to be missed!!

 

[flybill]

Going to try and make it.. not sure I can because I start a new job and the contract ends on 3/17 at this point.. been wanting to go for a while now!!

Yes, Last year Britt and Brian Davenport ran the booth and I was there with them all weekend. Don't know about this year. I think Britt and Brian will just be there tying this year.
