To all PAFF members, family, and friends:
You are invited to attend and participate in the 2013 PAFF Eastern PA Fly Tying Jamboree, to be held on Saturday, December 21st, from 10 AM to 6 PM.
This event is being hosted by FrequentTyer and myself. Either of us will answer any questions regarding the event.
This event will be held at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center, in Slatington, PA. Directions can be found here:

Tyers of all skill levels are invited to attend and participate. Each tyer will be given 15 minutes to tie and explain their chosen demo fly. Tyers will tie one at a time, proceeding around the room. Please choose a pattern that fits in to one of the following categories, and list it in your signup post. Duplicates are OK, but try to pick a pattern that hasn't already been chosen.
Categories:
- Catskill style dries
- parachute style dries
- comparadun and hairwing style dries
- emergers
- immitative nymphs
- attractor nymphs
- terrestrials
- wet flies
- streamers
- "other" flies
Things to bring:
All Tools and materials to tie your chosen demo fly. A tying lamp and any extension cords you need - there's an ample number of outlets on the walls behind the tying tables.
Bring any food or drinks you'd like to, but save room for dinner! We'll provide spring water on ice.
It's a good idea to get there and set up your tying gear before 10AM. We'll have access to the hall at the LGNC at 9AM, so please be ready to start tying at 10AM.
We encourage beginner tyers to attend, and we'll have beginner instruction set up at a table run by Hokendauqua TU. These guys are highly experienced with instructing beginners - they host a comprehensive series of tying classes starting in January. They'll have info and signup materials for these classes as well.
We'll also be holding a raffle at 5 PM of donated tying materials and flyfishing gear. Any donations to this raffle are welcome, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Lehigh Gap Nature Center, as a "thank you" for allowing us to use their beautiful facility for this event.
We'll be heading over to Riverwalck's Saloon after the event for drinks and dinner. Our reservation is for 6:30 PM. Directions to Riverwalck's Saloon can be found here:

Let the hostess know you are with Paflyfish, and she'll take you to our tables.
Looking forward to a fun and educational day, meeting new PAFF members, and seeing old friends and fishing buddies!
Please sign up below, and don't forget to list your chosen demo fly. Let the games begin!
Here's a LINK to the wrap up for last year's event (includes slide show).
