Fly Fishing Retailer
from:As one of the most important events in the sport of fly fishing, the annual Fly Fishing Retailer show has become a tourist attraction in and of itself.

At Fly Fishing Retailer, you will get meaningful interaction with other avid fly fishers as well as experts. If you have questions about fly fishing, just ask. There are many, many people on hand who are more than happy to answer any queries you have about this wonderful sport.
They offer tons of seminars on a variety of subjects. You can learn about fly tying, teaching others how to fly fish, what type of tackle to bring with you, and so much more. There is a casting pond where the experts can give you advice about your casting techniques and help you improve your casts for maximum efficiency.
Orvis sponsors a saltwater fly fishing cup where competitors vie for the $7,500 grand prize. All equipment is supplied by Orvis, and it is held on one of the casting ponds that are set up in the convention center. You cast for distance as well as accuracy.
Besides the seminars and activities, you will also find numerous companies exhibiting their fly fishing equipment. You will see some of the newest products from these companies and will also have the opportunity to purchase any of the equipment you are interested in.
