Nice
show. I wish my club UFT of MA would either do one as the same
I tie
at several shows throughout the tying season, this year 3 and enjoy sharing the
hobby greatly.
This
show had an excellent focus and showed truly the depth of expertise in this
hobby we have here in the MA/RI area.
Great
Job!!
Now
why didnt you ask me to tie ?
Our Fly Tying Symposium was a GREAT
SUCCESS!!!!
I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came
and stopped by to say hello. This show was a huge undertaking for
us. Most of you already know I'm a member of United Fly Tyers.
There are a few of us on the Virtual Fly box. We get to see Byard tie at
the shows in this area so we've found our way here. My club United
Fly Tyers of Rhode Island decided to hold a Fly Tying Symposium this past
Saturday. We are a non profit organization dedicated to education in the
area of fly fishing and fly tying. Somewhere along the way I
was drafted for this committee. Last year I tied in my first
show. A small show in Newport. This year so far I have tied in
three and been asked back for another one in May. I wasn't quite
prepared for being on the planning side but I went along to see where I might
be of help. That's where I've been the last few
months..... When we finally pulled it all together we had a
lot of surprises, some disappointments and some bonus's. We had
expected to lose money on this venture and would be very pleased to break even
on our first show. When all was said and done we made a small
profit.
I wanted to say thank you to the virtual fly
box. I have learned so much here from so many wonderful people that I
know I owe a lot of my success in these endeavors to you. Thank
you all for your support in my continuing learning of the art of fly
tying!!
