Here are some pictures from the NW Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Expo that was held this weekend in Albany, Oregon. This year I had time to walk around and meet a lot of new people as well as catch up with some people I had not seen for awhile.
Next year the show will be the second weekend in March. The show might be expanded next year to a 3 day event – so stay tuned.
