Fly Tying Expo

A fundraiser FEATURING LOCAL TALENT.

SVATU and Laughing Grizzly Fly Shop co-host an annual Fly Tying Expo that features expert tyers from Northern Colorado and throughout the state. This Expo offers the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with the tyers where attendees can chat and learn their patterns, tips, and pointers. With more than 30 tyers demonstrating an astounding variety of flies, attending the Expo is a crash course in upping your tying skills.

The Fly Tying Expo is a fundraiser to support the Chapter’s work and outreach. Flies tied at the event are donated by the tyers for bucket draws. The event also features a silent auction including trips and fishing related items. Fundraising proceeds go to:

  1. Youth programming that introduces kids to fly fishing and healthy watersheds;

  2. St. Vrain Creek habitat improvement and restoration; and

  3. Educating our community on the value of healthy streams and trout habitat.
