The Western Idaho Fly Fishing Exposition is going to be a two-day event on Friday and Saturday, April 2nd & 3rd 2010. The venue for the exposition will be at the Double Tree Inn, located at 2900 Chinden Boulevard, Boise, Idaho.

Tying slots will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. All tiers should come prepared with a tying lamp to meet your needs, and a household extension cord is recommended.
Boise Valley Fly Fishermen, a thirty-eight year affiliate of the Federation of Fly Fishers, in conjunction with the Western Region Rocky Mountain Council of the FFF, are proud to jointly sponsor this event. This is a gathering that will allow Idaho and other regional fly tiers to show their talents to the fly-fishing public and exchange ideas, new and old. Collectively, BVFF and the WRMC bring a lot of talent and experience to the table and we are really looking forward to working together to host this event.
Saturday evening, there will be a banquet with a program, dinner, raffle and auction. The Boise Valley Fly Fishermen and Western Rocky Mountain Council (FFF) will earmark funds raised at this event for various regional conservation undertakings.
We've nearly doubled the number of demonstration fly tiers this year so don't miss the expo from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. We invite you to click on the Fly Tiers tab and see who will be attending this year’s Expo. You'll see demos from high floating dry flies to deep sinking nymphs and tiers that will show you techniques that are guaranteed to make your fly tying and fishing more rewarding.
