Fly Tying at The Fair Sunday, August 17th

Even though we won't be setting up for the full run of the Erie County Fair like we have in past years, we will be conducting a kids’ hands on fly tying demonstration at the Erie County Fair on Sunday, August 17th . We need at least a couple of volunteers to man the booth for this. The demonstration will be in the Conservation Building from 12pm until 4pm, in the booth next to the building office. 

If you can help, please email Chuck Godfrey at steelheader03@hotmail.com , phone him at 716-440-6995, or text him at the same number. We should have entry tickets to the fairgrounds for you. I can have several tying vises and some tools there for people to use, we can supply materials also. I know I usually use my own equipment. We can tie whatever we like, but usually in the past it’s been wooly buggers, as they’re relatively easy to tie and can be large enough for new tyers to deal with. I’ll also have some smaller hooks and estaz there to tie estaz egg flies, so we can tie quickly if we have a lot of kids, but that’s generally not been a problem. Please let me know if you can help.
