Join me and a veritable who’s who of the Colorado Fly Tying community at the Orvis Park Meadows store on Saturday, October 18th, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

This year’s event promises to be the biggest yet, featuring 35 world-class fly tyers, including industry legends like Pat Dorsey, Rim Chung, Phil Iwane, Richard Pilatzke, Jon Easdon, Daryl Eakins, and many more (like me, Mike Myers!).

But here’s what makes this event truly historic:

We are honored to host Rim Chung’s final public fly-tying appearance.

Yes—the creator of the iconic RS2 fly will join us for one last demonstration and a special tribute to his extraordinary contributions to Colorado fly fishing. From 12:00 to 1:00 PM, Rim will tie the RS2 one final time, sharing stories and insights from over five decades in the sport.

This is an unmissable moment for the angling community—and a rare opportunity for your team to capture a living legend in action.

In addition to the fly tying lineup:

• Enjoy and vote in our crowd-favorite Chili Cook-Off

• Enter to win raffle prizes from top fly tying brands

• Support conservation efforts through Trout Unlimited Cutthroat Chapter (all proceeds benefit the Gill Trail restoration project)

The Fly Tying Fanatics Fest is more than an event—it’s a celebration of passion, craft, and community. I hope you’ll drop by and say hello!
