Fly Tying

These two run at the same time — plan accordingly

Practical techniques for generating efficient line speed and reaching farther without simply working harder.
Presentation · 1:00–2:00

Fly Tying

Euro Nymphing: Dispel the Myths!
Forget the stereotypes. Corey takes on the most common myths surrounding Euro nymphing and shows what these techniques actually look like on the water.

Fourteen brands confirmed for 2026, covering rods, reels, lines, flies, tying materials and packs.
Tyers Row · Rotating All Day
Pull up a chair and watch flies come together
Tyers rotate through Tyers Row throughout the day, so what's on the vise at 10:30 won't be what's on it at 2:00. Watch techniques up close, ask the questions you can't ask a video, and pick up patterns to take back to your own bench.
Come back more than once. The lineup changes through the day — a single visit only gets you a slice of it.
Bring a notebook or your phone. Most tyers are happy to slow a step down if you ask.
Precision Guide Booth
Start planning where you fish next
Meet the people behind Precision's guided trips and talk through water across Pennsylvania and beyond. Sharpening a skill, exploring unfamiliar water, planning a day on the river, or thinking about a bigger trip — this is where it starts.
Worth asking about: fall and winter dates, wade vs. float options, and trips built around a skill you want to work on.
Grand Opening
The Precision Tap Room
Festival day doubles as the grand opening of the Precision Tap Room — a place to sit down, talk fishing, and spend some time at the shop beyond grabbing gear and heading out the door.
Stick City Brewing Company joins us for the day. Grab a drink, catch a presentation, and stick around.
Stick City Brewing Co. pouring on site, festival day only.
Open through the day alongside the schedule — no need to choose between a session and a seat.
In-Store Sales
Some of our biggest sales of the year
Festival day brings the deepest in-store pricing Precision runs. Worth building the trip around if there's something on your list.
