It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter, but here comes SPEYAPALOOZA! Come together with North Sound Trout Unlimited & The Confluence Fly Shop on the banks of the mighty Skagit to celebrate all things Spey! Join us at Howard Miller Steelhead Park in Rockport, WA Saturday, May 3rd from 10am-4:30pm. We welcome everyone of all skill levels - from the newcomer to the seasoned pro. We'll have something tasty for lunch, gear demos, fly tying, small group casting classes, awesome raffle prizes, and much more.
 
Lots of gear! Whether you are wading into the world of two-handed long rods for the first time or scouting out your next rod purchase (and your next…and your next…), you will have ample opportunity to chat with several vendors and test out all kinds of Spey rods, reels, and lines. 
 
What about casting? Learn how to carry the weight of a long line by signing up for one of our free, small group casting classes. Slots are limited, so be sure to register in advance. If you'd rather go your own pace, just show up and grab some gear the day of the event. We are also looking to add a class or two on more specialized angling topics from leading voices in the sport.
 
Entry is free, but you'll want to have cash or a card for raffle prizes, lunch donations, or some of our incredible T-shirts. We want to keep the event fun, affordable, and accessible, but we also rely on your generous support to keep the party goin'. Also, bring yer waders! If you need waders/boots, let us know at least two weeks in advance. We don't want anything to stand in the way of you and Speyapalooza 2025!
 
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY CAMPING DETAILS (Optional)
Nothing builds community like a campfire, reminding us that we do this crazy fly fishing thing for the people we meet as much as the fish we encounter. For those looking to extend the fun, NSTU has a small block of campsites at Howard Miller Steelhead Park on May 2nd and 3rd. These spots are available first come first served at NSTU’s secure donation page. Before you reserve, please note the following:
Bring friends: Each site fits two tents/rigs. To maximize our limited slots, we encourage folks to split a site with buddies. 
Camp for up to 2 nights: There is no option for reserving a single night, but you also aren't required to camp both days (but it's more fun if you do...)
Respect the park facilities: No more than two cars are allowed at a single site. And per the park, you MAY NOT park on the grass.
Get in touch if something comes up: If you need to cancel or make changes to your reservation, email northsoundtu@gmail.com immediately. We expect there to be a waitlist, and we want to fill the spots. Don't be a no show, yo.

1. Read the important notes above. 
2. Go to NSTU's secure donation page to "purchase" a 2025 Speyapalooza Camping ticket. Do NOT purchase more than one ticket.
