Troutfest is two weeks away.  Everyone is busy getting ready.  Lefty Kreh, Bob Clouser and Joe Humphreys have their airline tickets and will be attending the banquet on Friday night.  Then they will give seminars, sign books and Joe and Bob will tie flies in the Fly Tying Tent.

We have more great prizes for the banquet than ever before, by far.  And, it looks like there will be under 300 people attending, maybe only 250.  I believe Rufus told me the retail value of the auction items and prizes totaled about $20,000.  The banquet will be held in a huge tent behind the Visitors Center.  Tickets can be bought at the shop, ordered by phone 877-448-3474 or purchased online by clicking HERE.  They are $50 each.  We have limited the number of banquet tickets to be sold to 300.   Please buy yours now or you may miss out.

On Saturday and Sunday we will hold the Fly Fishing Exposition.  One tent will hold the National Vendors, people like Orvis, Chota, Temple Fork and others.  We will have the usual Education Tent but this year there will be several new exhibitors.

Artists, rod makers and builders and other fly fishing related craftspeople will be set up in the Vendors Tent.  They will be selling their works of art.  Guides will have booths and there will be food vendors onsite so you don’t have to leave the Exposition.

You will be given a schedule of events held throughout the weekend.  There will always be several events going on at the same time so you can choose what you want to do.  One very popular area will be the Fly Tying Tent.  We will charge $10 for a weekend pass.  There will be 42 people demonstrating fly tying by rotating in shifts all weekend.  Below is a schedule for the tent:
