  The Boise Valley Fly Fishers is the oldest fly fishing organization in Idaho, founded in 1971. The Boise metropolitan area has grown significantly in the past few years, and so has the local interest in fly fishing.  Our mission to promote the sport of fly-fishing through education and conservation activities is dependent upon a successful Expo. Instruction in fly tying, casting, and fly fishing ethics has been the foundation of this event.  We plan to expand our educational workshops this year, while continuing a wide range of dynamic lectures.

  SEE www.BVFFExpo.com or www.IdahoFlyFishingExpo.com for more information.
