Folks,
Following on from last years excellent inaugural event, the RSAA is holding another fly tying fair at Inchberry Hall near Fochabers on Saturday 18th January.
Some excellent fly tiers attending with new additions this year of Sandy Howie, Dave Feltz, Kevin Muir and myself. We will all be tying a very broad spectrum of flies, so something there for everyone from the smallest trout flies to the biggest predator flies. There'll be some fly tying tuition/workshops being run and possibly a 'masterclasses' or two being delivered. All the tiers will be delighted to chew the fat with anyone who cares to sit down, it's a friendly event :z16
It's possible that Orvis will be in attendance alongside some other choice retailers.
There will be a burger van to keep us all fed and watered (well, supplied with coffee in my case) and possibly some casting tuition and a casting competition held - depends on the weather I should think.
Last years event was great craic and a really nice way to get into the swing of things for the approaching season.
Doors open at 10 am and it runs to 4.

Shaping up to be a cracking event guys with some excellent tyers there covering a wide range of styles and species.
Tyer Demo List:
Hamish Young, Kevin Muir, Liam Stephen, Ali Hutchens, Phil Glendinning, Graham Forbes, Dave Matteer, Alan Bithell, Sean Stanton, Dave Felce, Brian Burnett and of course me :z4
Orvis, Sports and Model Shop (Semperfli / Partridge Sprite), Franc n Snelda, Deveron Trust, Spey Board and River Spey Anglers all have stands so plenty to see and chance to try / buy.
There's a hands on table for anyone wanting to try tying and catering van to keep us all fed and watered.
10.00am 'till 4.00pm and cheap entry, shaping up to be a great day and for a change not too far for those of us in the north to travel.
Free parking as well btw :wink
See you all there.

soooo tempting to go - but I know what happens - I spend too much on stuff I 'need' :X2
is there anyone who has taken up fly-tying who has managed not to turn into a collect-a-maniac ?

Ask for some pocket money James and don't spend a feather more :wink

Guys,
I know how this feels. Living in Brunei with no real access to fly fishing shops sort of makes you behave. However I am home on holiday and went to a well known Aberdeen tackle shop yesterday for a few odds and ends. The final bill was scary. But then again I will have loads of new flies to throw in various locations in 2020 so it is not wasted.
You can never have enough materials or hooks or tubes :X2

Gents it was ace to meet many of you today. I really enjoyed chatting with a few of you and learned some news flies and mischief options for 2020. Could be my first Pike and maybe Hamish has even persuaded me to try dapping. The boys loved their day out too so well done for holding an excellent event. Only thing I needed was a dram to sit and yap properly.
Tight lines.

Super wee event, was nice to be asked to tie at it :z16
I tied mostly dapping flies, interesting to see the folk 'in the know' swing by and chew the fat about dapping.
Caught up with/met a great many forum members, great craic :cool:
Roll on the season :z18

Excellent show guys and well attended with around 130 over the whole day.
Thank you to everyone who made it along both visitors and tyers / trade stands and well done RSAA committee for the hard work in putting on such an excellent day.

Anyway thank you all again, roll on next year. :z16
