I will be attending The Sow Bug Round Up in Mountain Home, Arkansas, as a featured fly tier. I will demonstrate during the morning session of each day of the event.

This annual show in Mountain Home, AR is centered in one of the greatest fly-fishing areas of the world. The White and Norfork Rivers provide a backdrop for anglers visiting the show. The show boasts 150 expert fly tyers, over 20 vendors, daily new auctions and raffles, free seminars, free fly-tying classes, and free casting lessons. The entry fee is only $10 for all three days, and if an adult is accompanied by a child, they are admitted free. One of the goals of the Sowbug is to encourage people of all ages to enjoy fly fishing. We even have a special free raffle for kids, where everyone wins!

The Sowbug Roundup is the work of dozens of North Arkansas Fly Fishers members. It is the club's sole fundraiser and provides funds for conservation, education, and philanthropic activities. The first $10,000 of the show’s proceeds goes toward scholarships for students majoring in conservation and/or fisheries careers.
