Above all else, fly fishing, while it holds itself haughtily above other forms of attempted fish-catching, is, to the initiated, an equalizer.

The 2012 Northwest Fly Tyer & Fly Fishing Expo is set for March 9 & 10 at the Linn County Expo Center in Albany, Oregon.
For over 20 years the NW Expo has been a fly tyer event. Five years ago a new vision was conceived to have an expo for the total fly fisher. Since then the NW Fly Fishing Expo has evolved into a two day event with a full educational curriculum of over 90 classes and draws over 2,000 attendees. The NW Expo has been heralded as the “largest fly tying event west of the Mississippi". The education class curriculum offering is the largest fly fishing education offering on the west coast. Vendors are starting to call it their show of choice. And with all its success the NW Expo is still an event planned and delivered by volunteers from the fly fishing clubs in Oregon.
The revenues generated by the Expo are used by the Oregon FFF Council to provide educational programs on fly tying, casting and fishing throughout the year within the state of Oregon .
The Expo wraps up with a banquet and auction featuring guided trips, lodge trips, rods, reels, artwork, sculptures, and just about anything associated to fly fishing.
