The Stonefly Society of the Wasatch Welcomes You

SECOND ANNUAL WASATCH FLY TYING & FLY FISHING EXPO 2008

The Stonefly Society and Cache Valley Anglers, chapters of Utah Trout Unlimited, are pleased to announce the Second Annual Wasatch Fly Tying & Fly Fishing Expo. The Expo will be held Friday and Saturday, May 2-3, 2008 at the Karen Gail Miller Convention Center, Salt Lake Community College, 9750 South 300 West, Sandy, Utah.

This two-day Expo will feature fly tying demos from some of the best fly tiers in Utah, casting clinics, fly tying and fly fishing workshops, activities for kids, prize raffles, exhibitors, and more. Last year’s inaugural event was a great success and we anticipate this year’s Expo to be bigger and better. Saturday evening we will conclude the Expo with a banquet and auction featuring renowned author and fly shop owner Kelly Galloup (www.slideinn.com) as our keynote speaker. Expo activities on Friday will go from 4 p.m. - 9 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. The banquet Saturday evening will start at 6:30 p.m.

The goals we have are threefold: 1) raise funds for future conservation projects for Utah’s streams, rivers, and lakes, 2) celebrate fly tying and fly fishing in the state of Utah, and 3) have some fun.

In addition to the Expo event, we are pleased to announce the first annual Wasatch Fly Fishing Film Festival which will be held on Thursday May 1st, 2008 at 7 p.m. The film festival will feature 5-7 mini fly fishing film segments of 2008. We hope to make this an annual event that will draw some of the best fly fishing film producers from around the world. It will be held at the Miller Free Enterprise Center in the Auditorium, Salt Lake Community College, 9750 South 300 West, Sandy, Utah. Tickets will be $8 per person, $10 at the door. We will be giving away some great door prizes and holding a small raffle for several prizes. It should be a great event.

The workshops, classes, and casting clinic schedules will be updated as necessary. Our new expo website should also be up and running soon. Check it out at www.wasatchexpo.com.
