Thanks to all the fly tiers and the guests that showed up!!! Alastair and Jordan did a great job getting the whole thing organized. Steve probably has some photos. It is really cool to see what these professional tiers can do with feathers, fur and in John's case Softex. Those stoneflies are amazing...
OK Chris, since you're begging, I'll add a couple of pictures that I took at the event. I'll join in sending all of the tyers who took time out of their weekend a bigthank you for making the event a success. It was good to see a couple of people who have been hiding as well!
 Most of all thanks to Alastair, Jordan and Steve for all of the work on the event!!!!!
