Fly Tying Festival in Houston this coming weekend

Post by Lefty Ray »

Their words not mine

Our 12th Annual Fly Tying Festival will be Saturday, February 7th at the Holiday Inn on I-10 at Antoine. We have nearly 50 tiers scheduled for this event, including A.K. Best, our featured tier. We have tiers coming from all over Texas, one from New Mexico, one from Kansas, and possibly a couple from Louisiana and Arkansas. We also have several vendors selling everything from artwork to tying materials. Barkley Souders has promised to clean out his garage, and should have some real equipment bargains, as he has in the past.


Special presentations are as follows:
11:00-12:00 a.m. Steve Flanagan Saltwater Flies
1:00-2:00 p.m. A.K. Best Matching Naturals
2:00-3:00 p.m. Dave Lewis Midges
3:00-4:00 p.m. Mark Petrie Deer Hair Flies
4:00-5:00 p.m. Wally VanZandt & Billy Oxley Making Your Own Fly Plate (shadow box)


The drawing for the raffle items will be held at 4:30 p.m. As usual, Tom Lyons has a Sage rod and several other great items for this year’s raffle. You do not have to be present to win.

What about beginners

Post by cmsdw24 »

I've only been tying for a about a year, and off and on at that. will there be a beginners section, that isn't entirely devoted to little kids? I really enjoy it and can't wait to see some of the masters at work. I plan on getting there early.
