The 29th Annual East Idaho Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Expo will return to the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls on Feb. 14-15. Hosted by the Snake River Cutthroats, Idaho Falls Chapter for Trout Unlimited and Fly Fishers International, the Expo will feature over 80 fly tiers, including national award winners, demonstrating their tying techniques. Workshops will be offered on casting, tying, introduction to fly fishing, a one-and-a-half day women’s-only program on fly fishing, and youth programs. Over 50 vendors and non-profits will be available representing the fly-fishing community. Raffles and silent auctions will be conducted throughout the day where Expo visitors can participate.
Dave Pace, the Expo co-chair, announced “We are excited to include the International Fly-Fishing Film Festival as part of the Expo this year.” The films will be featured Friday night at the Blue Cross of Idaho Conference Center. The banquet with live and silent auctions, including boats and excursions, will be on Saturday night.
