Professional guides, Cat Toy and Tyler Boroff will be at the shop for a tag-team tying event and you don't want to miss it.

Don't miss as Orvis presents Fly Tying Fanatic Fest on October 26th, 2024, Saturday
Location:  Orvis Park Meadows
Time:  10 am to 4 pm

I will be tying my signature Green Caddis Larva and Burnt French Fry leech and other fishy fly patterns.

Tyers will be sharing their fish catching patterns and sharing how to fish them. This is the fly tying show of the year. If you are thinking about fly tying, a beginning fly tier, intermediate tier or an experienced tier, this is the place to hang out on Occtober 26 at the Orvis Park Meadows.  You are guaranteed to learn a pattern or fishing technique that will help put more fish in the net.

I hope to see you there!!
