The Washington State Council of the International Federation of Fly Fishers (IFFF) is putting on its annual fair on Friday, April 29th and Saturday, April 30th. This year's event is the 10th annual event. The Overlake Fly Fishing Club will host a five-hole casting course at the park and it's free. On Saturday afternoon there will be a competition, it's also free and there will be some great prizes. Admission is free to IFFF members and kids under 16; the rest pay $5.00. The Awards Banquet and Auction ($35) will be Friday night, April 29th. If you volunteer, you get to go to the fair free and get a free spaghetti dinner Thursday night, April 28th.

FLY TYING: There will be over 100 fly tiers tying some of their favorite patterns throughout both days. Famous tiers like Bruce Staples and Jim Teeny will be tying and giving tips. NFA members like David Williams and Jim Higgins will also be tying. The Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers will be offering free kids fly tying classes on Saturday. This is a great opportunity to see fly tying by the pros. CASTING: There will be casting games (including a five hole casting course), competitions, and instruction workshops in one and two-handed rods.

FREE SEMINARS: Seminars will be free and offered on both days. Listen to the experts talk about how to succeed in fishing familiar and exotic fly fishing waters. NFA member David Williams will be presenting his program Fly Fishing for Western Smallmouth. MORE INFORMATION: Check this link.
