The White River Fly Fishers Expo is a fly tying event held in Branson, MO. This year the Expo will be held on October 10-11. The event will be held again at the Branson-Hollister Lions Club. It’s a really nice venue with updated lighting and WiFi.
I will be a fly tying demonstrator at the expo during both sessions on both days so please stop and see me if you are in the area. I plan on tying several of my favorite and more successful Caddisfly and Mayfly dry fly patterns. Here are the patterns I plan on demonstrating:
