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

[Rob Allen]

I'll do my best to come walk around for a bit.
I need to be more involved in the fly fishing community. Not just slathering my opinions , umm i mean the truth around the internet.

has anyone from the company carried on with the Nor-Vise booth since Norm died?

It's on their 2024 Calendar.

A group from Puget Sound Fly Fishers is planning on it.........and looking forward to it.

No idea. Given my session timing, I'm commuting (most likely) from PDX each day.

Those with trailers/RVs can stay right behind the venue on a parking lot. Many do.

Blue Ox RV site and the Expo grounds…both close by.
Many motels nearby…some are better than others.

Maybe pnwflyfishing.com should have some kind of presence. Can @Billy come tie? I volunteer him.

I'll be there wandering around enjoying all the creative tying when I'm not supporting in one of the booths. Never been before, but it sounds like an awesome show!

Looks like it integrates into a trip for my wife well, so Ill likely be there to view and learn.

There is no way I am going to miss this! Last year was my first year and I had a blast. Everyone was helpful and friendly and I won a ton of cool stuff!

I've been going every year its been on going clear back to when it was in Eugene. Just to watch and learn new things every year. It's a shorter drive from Vancouver now which is nice. It is an awesome show. You'll enjoy.

There is a Holiday Inn Express and a Comfort Suites next door. I think I stayed at the Holiday Inn last year.

We should all meet for lunch or a heckling session on Saturday

 

[WonkyWapiti]

Better yet, how about we all get tables together for the banquet.
