Pacemaker Fishing Forum

If you like fly fishing and/or want to learn more, there is no better event and it is FREE!

Several of the nation’s most celebrated fly fishing tyers and casters will appear at the eighth annual TieFest, the area’s premier fly-fishing show, Saturday, Feb. 27, at the Kent Narrows Yacht Club from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Lefty Kreh, Bob Popovics, Bob Clouser, and Steve Silverio along with a number of other fly fishing experts have already agreed to appear at TieFest,” said Tony Friedrich, executive director, Coastal Conservation Association Maryland (CCA MD), which sponsors the event.
“Not only can fly fishing enthusiasts get a break from the winter doldrums at this event, they will be able to learn tying and casting techniques from anglers who are truly legends in our sport.”

The event is free of charge and will feature nationally recognized fly-tyers, a host of fishing guides, equipment manufacturers, and opportunities to improve fishing skills.

Casting lessons are even provided by seasoned instructors. It’s best if you bring your own fly rod for the lesson. Sign up sheets are available. Kids under 16 will be given preference with times for casting lessons.

“Tiefest is a grassroots effort to enhance the sport of fly fishing,” Friedrich said. “During the past few years, the event has grown to include thousands of individuals that enjoy teaching and learning different aspects of the sport. Tiefest is the only event in this area where beginning fly anglers can talk with experts like Kreh and Popovics to improve their skills.”
