2014 International Fly Tying Symposium

This is a quick heads up the 2014 International Fly Tying Symposium will be taking place on November 22nd and 23rd, 2014 at the Golden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, New Jersey.

Not only will there be over 100 featured fly tiers in attendance, various presentations, and fly shops selling fly tying materials of all sorts, but there will also be both a fiberglass and bamboo fly rod casting competitions on both days as well.  The fiberglass fly rod casting competition will be held on Saturday and the bamboo fly rod casting competition will be held on Sunday.


I will be making the trip up to Somerset for this event (It's a great excuse for a husband/wife trip to NYC) and will be assisting with the fiberglass fly rod casting competition with Michael Mauri of Seele Fly Rods.  I will not be giving any presentations at this event but do plan on bringing a rod case filled with various demos for those who would like to cast a few fly rods.

Please check out the International Fly Tying Symposium website for details and the rules for the fiberglass/bamboo casting competition have been posted as well.

If you have any questions or requests for the demos that I bring along please send an email to thefiberglassmanifesto@gmail.com.
