Hi njflyguy, sorry i didn't see this sooner. The guys above have pretty much covered it. It's a great show every year, becasue you can just go and learn so much and hang out with the BEST tyers on the planet. You don't have to spend a dime other than the admission if you don't want to, but you CAN usually find some real good deals. Unless there's a chance of something you really need, (materials wise) being gone, (if you snooze, you loose), don't buy on Sat., wait. Later on Sun. is the best time because the vendors do not want to take back (to their shops) anything they can sell. So they usually drop their prices a bit before having to pack up. Or, you can force the issue a bit and get a deal. "Comprendea?" No matter what type of tying you like you will find experts at it there. And they are all more than willing to help you out with anything you might need help with. There should be over 80 tyers, and Angling Arts is one of the best tying book sellers there is. Look for their booth out in the hallway, usually right across from where we (the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild) will be set up. They always have some "specials" for the show. mark
