Fly casting ponds are provided to try your skill with a demo rod that several vendors will have at their booths.

In addition, the Expo provides a large number of on-the-water and classroom workshops on a wide range of topics taught by experts. You will find a schedule of these events on the following pages. These workshops cover places to fish, fly fishing techniques, fly casting instruction, fly tying instruction, and many other topics. The fly tying section of the Expo has nearly 80 tiers that will demonstrate their techniques and will share their knowledge with you.
