Registration Is OPEN for the 2026 Fly Tying Fanatics Fest!

It’s back—and registration is officially LIVE! Get ready for a full day of fly tying, fishing community, friendly competition, and plenty of inspiration at the 2026 Fly Tying Fanatics Fest.

Join Orvis Park Meadows and the Trout Unlimited Cutthroat Chapter on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10:00 AM–3:00 PM for a celebration of everything we love about fly tying.

We’re bringing together 32 talented fly tyers for an incredible day of demonstrations, conversation, creativity, and learning. Whether you’re a seasoned tyer, just getting started, or simply love being around fellow fly-fishing fanatics, there’s something for everyone.

🌶️ And yes… the Chili Cook-Off is BACK!

The coveted Chili Cook-Off title is up for grabs once again, along with a $100 Orvis Gift Card for the winner.

Will last year’s champion defend the crown? Or will a new Chili King or Queen emerge? Bring your appetite and find out!

🎟️ Don’t Miss Out—Register Today!  https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/fpe667g

Along with the fly tying and chili competition, you can look forward to raffles, prizes, great conversation, and the chance to meet and learn from some of your favorite names in the fly-tying world.

This is one event you won’t want to hear about afterward—you’ll want to be there.
