Please check out the announcement in the Events Forum of the 2012 PAFF Eastern PA Fly Tying Jamboree found here.
Let's try to keep all comments, signups, etc here in this thread to keep the post in the announcement section as an information only announcement.
As mentioned in the announcement post, all PAFF members, family, friends, and even the general public are invited to participate in this event.
This year, I've drafted some very capable help in hosting this event. Frequent Tyer will be co-hosting this event, and his input and comments should be taken as "official". His ideas will surely improve this event over last year's, and I'm looking forward to working with him again.
Here are the categories to be used as a rough guide to choose the flies you plan on tying. Please list the fly you plan on tying when you sign up - this will allow us to cover a wider base of tying skills and techniques, and so maximize our learning potential.
-Catskill style dries
-parachute style dries
-comparadun and hairwing style dries
-emergers
-realistic nymphs
-attractor nymphs
-terrestrials
-wet flies
-streamers
-"other" flies
Duplicate flies are OK, but try to pick a pattern that someone else hasn't chosen. Tyers will be given 15 minutes each to tie the fly of their choice. The tyers may be videotaped as they tie, and macro pictures of the finished flies will be posted in a photobucket album to be posted here. We ask that all flies tied be donated to the raffle (see below).
We're also having at least one special guest tyer - Eunanhendron has agreed to put his incredible tying skills on display. This will be something spectacular to see!
We'll also have a raffle at the end of the day, and I'll be adding pictures of the items I get donated here in this thread as we progress. The grand prize is a beautiful custom made tying bench that was built by Specialty Wood Products, and generously donated by csoult of our forum. If anyone wants to donate any flyfishing related items to the raffle, feel free to bring them along. 100% of the proceeds from this raffle will be given to the Lehigh Gap Nature Center, as a "thank you" for allowing us to use their beautiful facility.
Coffee and spring water will be available throughout the day, but food items must be kept outside in your vehicles - we just can't risk messing up the beautiful hall in the LGNC.
Frequent Tyer and myself will be adding things here, and in the announcement section as we go, but for now, let the games begin!
