Dear Fellow Fly Fishing & Outdoor Enthusiast,
The Stonefly Society and Cache Valley Anglers, chapters of Utah Trout
Unlimited, are pleased to announce the First Annual Wasatch Fly Tying & Fly
Fishing Expo. The Expo will be held Saturday, May 19th, 2007 at the
Karen Gail Miller Convention Center, Salt Lake Community College, 9750
South 300 West, Sandy, Utah.
This all-day Expo will feature fly tying demos from some of the best fly
tiers in Utah, casting clinics, fly tying and fly fishing workshops,
activities for kids, and raffles throughout the day. In the evening, we will
conclude the Expo with a banquet and auction featuring author and fly
fishing guide Landon Mayer ([url "http://www.landonmayer.com/"]www.landonmayer.com[/url]
[url "http://www.landonmayer.com/"]<http://www.landonmayer.com/>[/url] ) as our keynote speaker. Expo activities
will go from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., with the banquet starting at 6:45 p.m. General
Admission to the public will be free.
The goals we have are threefold: 1) raise funds for future conservation
projects for Utah's streams, rivers, and lakes, 2) celebrate fly tying and
fly fishing in the state of Utah, and 3) have some fun.
The workshops, classes, and casting clinic schedules will be posted on the
Stonefly Society website soon. Check the website often for updates and
announcements. ([url "http://www.stoneflysociety.org/"]www.stoneflysociety.org[/url] [url "http://www.stoneflysociety.org/"]<http://www.stoneflysociety.org/>[/url]
