Save the date: The International Fly Tying Symposium will be held on November 20th and 21st, 2010 at the The Doubletree Hotel in Somerset, NJ.
I've been going to this event since it's start and has become a fly tiers home coming of sorts. While there are some deals the main reason to attend is to catch-up, swap patterns and fishing stories.
There are some great free programs like Ozzie's“Underwater World of Trout - See Flies from the Perspective of the Trout, not the Angler” on Saturday @ 10:00 a.m. Sunday @ 11:00 a.m.
