TieFest set for Saturday, Feb.12

Kent Narrows  (Jan. 7, 2010) - The Mid-Atlantic’s foremost fly fishing event, TieFest, will be held Saturday, Feb. 12, at the Kent Narrows Yacht Club in Gransonville, MD. Once again some of the nation’s top fly tiers will attend to demonstrate patterns and answer questions, including Lefty Kreh (Baltimore Chapter), Bob Clouser, Bob Popovics, Steve Silverio, and Brad Bruzzi.  In addition to tying, there will be a casting demonstration, and members of the Mid-Atlantic Fly Anglers will provide individual casting instruction.  Numerous vendors will have new rods and other gear attendees can sample, and local guides will be available to discuss fishing.

“TieFest continues to grow and is now one of the premier events in the region,” said CCA MD Executive Director Tony Friedrich, who organizes the day. “Last year we had more than 600 participants. One of the great opportunities is that anyone there can walk up and talk to some of the giants in fishing.” TieFest is free to the public, and more information will be available on the CCA MD website.
