Troutfest Schedule of Events...

9:12 PM | Posted by Tyler Legg |

Troutfest is almost here. This Friday evening marks the beginning of one of the largest venues for fly fisherman in the Southeast. The banquet/auction is Friday evening and the expo is all weekend from 9AM until 5PM. I won't be there in time for the banquet, but I'll be there all day Saturday. Looking forward to it for sure Troutfest is an annual event that takes place in May. It's not just an expo. It's a fundraiser, aimed towards raising money for
Great Smoky Mountains National Park Fisheries Department, Friends of the Smokies Fisheries Scholarship Endowment, or other youth educational conservation projects. Here is the new schedule of events for Troutfest. It's going to be a blast. Troutfest is held at the Townsend Visitors Center in Townsend, TN.

Oh yeah, don't leave your fly rod behind, enjoy one of the best times to fish in the Smokies after Troutfest.

I may be able to make it up that way on Saturday, so I may see you then. Wish I could participate in the events, last year it was so much fun doing the tying demos. I see that they have the tyers spread out this year, interesting idea.; May 12, 2010 12:46 PM

It was a blast doing the tying demos last year. Looking forward to it again this year. I noticed that they spread the tying tents out too. Looks like there will be 3 or 4 tyers per tent, instead of all of the tyers tying in one large tent. Sounds like a great idea.

Looking forward to T-fest. See you there.
