I need to go fishing!!!

It's killing me.

I've been deprived for the past two weekends.

Practicing single speys on the Puyallup was the closest I got.

There is hope, though:

I'll be one of the fly tiers at this year's FFF Conclave at the Ellensburg Fairgrounds (in E-burg, of course) and with any luck I'll be able to squeeze in a little time on the Yak between this event and a commitment I made (foolishly, perhaps?) to do some wine tasting in the Yakima Valley.

Anyway...I'll be there from 8:30 to 11:30 on Saturday, May 3rd and will be covering easy to tie, effective
patterns. Come by and tie one with me!

Of course, fly tying isn't the only feature offered at this event. In addition to numerous fly tiers, casting and fishing courses will be offered and you can even enter a casting competition and vie for some pretty cool prizes.

Hope to see you there--make sure to stop by and share your fishing stories!
