I welcome you to the 2018 Washington Fly Fishing Fair web page. This is our 12th annual fair and the result of the generous support of many talented flytiers, casters and flyfishers devoted to our sport and to conservation and education.

Our vendors and partners
While we encourage everyone to have a great time, this event is our only fund raiser and our major source of funds to support education and conservation events in the coming year. In the past 4 years we have donated over $13,000 to conservation and education activities. In addition, there was another $4,500 in funds from the IFFF that was distributed to Conservation activities. We THANK everyone who has attended our Fair in the past for your support. Without your support we would not have be able to provide this support. We encourage you to attend and participate in our auction and raffles, so we can continue this support.
On Friday evening we have our awards banquet. The evening will start with a no host bar followed of dinner, Council awards and our live auction. Please register and join us.
This event does not go off without the help of a lot of volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me. On Thursday evening we hold a dinner for our volunteers and vendors to thank them for their support because without them this event would not be possible.
I hope to see you there.
