We are thrilled to invite you and the community to the 2025 Southern Oregon Fly Tying and Fishing Expo, hosted by Fly Fishing Veterans! This exciting, family-friendly event is dedicated to celebrating the art of fly tying and fly casting skills while honoring veterans and welcoming anglers of all skill levels.
The Expo will take place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the Winston Community Center, 440 S.E. Grape Ave., Winston, Oregon from 9am to 5pm.
Highlights of the event include live fly tying and fly casting demonstrations, beginner fly tying and fly casting lessons, raffles, silent auctions, and the chance to connect with industry and community exhibitors. A special feature will be the “Quilts of Valor” presentation, a moving ceremony honoring veterans with handmade quilts as a token of gratitude for their service.
As Doug Myers, Director of Fly Fishing Veterans, states, “This event is about more than fly tying and casting — it’s about bringing people together. Whether you’re a veteran, a beginner, or a lifelong angler, you’ll find something here to inspire you”.
Veterans receive free admission; food and refreshments will be available for purchase by all attendees.
