The location has changed to the Marriott Hotel in Newport by the Visitor Center!

Learn proven patterns and tying techniques from some of the masters of saltwater fly tying. Attend educational seminars that will include an eye opening primer on saltwater baitfish, tips for fly rodding Cuttyhunk and tactics for inshore tuna. The Fly Tying Fair will be held at The Marriott Hotel in Newport from 10am to 4 pm. For a current seminar schedule please visit www.saltwateredge.com.

Featured Tiers scheduled to appear:
Kenny Abrames: Artist, lecturer, fly designer and author of “Striper Moon” and “A Perfect Fish”. Kenny has a deep understanding of striped bass and what makes them eat. His innovative designs catch fish when others don’t.
Mark Archambault: A lifelong coastal naturalist Mark is a wealth of information about baitfish and their habits. His collection of aquatic photography will astound you.
Armand Courchaine: A wealth of knowledge and an enthusiastic teacher. Through United Fly Tiers Roundtable Armand has introduced anglers around the world to fly rodding in the Ocean State.
Joe Cordeiro: Excellent tier and teacher. Ties presentation flies for Orvis. Joe draws a crowd wherever he sets down his vice.

John Kelsey: Accomplished at bending and blending classic tying techniques in new and interesting ways
Rich Murphy: Umpqua pro tier who has engineered a number of innovative designs including the use of a “spreader” to create bulk without weight in large flies. He often blends naturals and synthetics to create durable yet alive fly.
David Skok: A two-time winner of the MV Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby and holder of the IGFA 6-lb tippet record for Atlantic Bonito since 1994. His patterns have received national recognition in several magazines and books; particularly his signature fly the Mushmouth. Don’t miss his slide show at the show.
Captain Eric Thomas: Saltwater Edge guide, teacher and commercial tier. Eric is superb at teaching techniques for tying the Rhody Classics. You are sure to learn thing or two.
