My first fly fishing show of 2025 will be the Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival in Doswell, VA on January 9 & 10. This is one of my favorite events, as I get to meet so many panfish fans and tie my favorite fly patterns. Please visit my booth and say hello.

The festival features wine, craft beer, and everything you want to learn about fly fishing. It hosts many fly tiers, vendors, demonstrations, and classes. It's the largest event of its kind in the U.S., attracting anglers from New York to Georgia, suitable for all ages and skill levels. Attendees can listen to expert talks and practice skills at this family-friendly event. Wineries, breweries, and distilleries from Virginia provide free tastings for those 21 and older.
