Our theme is “Welcome Back.” It’s time to meet and talk with old friends and meet new ones. After a year often spent feeling isolated, lonely, and anxous, returning to the symposium weekend is long overdue. And there is plenty to enjoy that will lift your spirits! From learning the tricks from our long list of tiers to shopping, and seeing every material used in tying. You will be able to check out the huge number of recent and new books along with attending special classes. Join the Seminar crowd or the Featured Fly Tier Demonstrations. All this and more will keep you busy all weekend! For your convenience the Hilton has offered special show rates. Book early before the rates expire, about 20 days before the show weekend. All the reservation link information and room rates can be found on our website internationalflytyingsymposium.com. See you soon, Chuck Furimsky CHUCK FURIMSKY In our Symposium lobby you will see the tables where the new Saturday Fly Tying Contest will start at 4:00. Anyone attending is welcome to tie, but you should register when you arrive because tying stations are limited. The competition is free, so don’t be shy. Everyone else is welcome to come and watch the tiers. Our distinguished judges will award the top three tiers whose flies were chosen with $100 giſt certificates. All tiers will be able to keep the provided materials, at least $50 worth at each Tying station. Everyone goes away happy. New for You
