If you've never tied or your little ones fancy a go a fly-tying we have lots of customers who made their first flies at one of our shows and have gone on to be passionate fly tyers and anglers.
For experienced anglers, this is a superb opportunity to brush up on techniques and see the latest innovations as well as just chatting fishing with some of the best in the business. From the subtlest river imitations through the most garish stillwater patterns to the flies for the biggest predators in salt and fresh water our Fly Tyer's row has you covered.
