Bob Clouser and his ubiquitous Clouser Minnow fly fishing pattern will highlight about 100 creative fly tiers at the 33rd annual International Fly Tying Symposium from November 16-17 at the DoubleTree by Hilton at 200 Atrium Drive in Somerset, NJ.
According to symposium director Chuck Furimsky, Clouser’s artificial fishing fly, designed originally for Susquehanna River smallmouth bass, is credited with catching more varieties of fish than any other in sport fishing’s lengthy history, from “trout to tuna.”
The event will consist of individual classes, seminars and demonstrations conducted by Clouser and other internationally recognized artists including Tim Flagler, Tim Cammisa, Barry Ord Clarke, Doug Yocabet, Son Tao, Cheech Pierce, Curtis Fry, and USA Fly Fishing Youth Team coach Josh Miller.
Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $18 Saturday, $15 on Sunday, or $28 for a two-day pass. Children under age 16 are free. Admission is by cash only at the box office.
All registration forms, programs, special classes, attending celebrities, fly tiers, and demonstration times are posted on the International Fly Tying Symposium website at internationalflytyingsymposium.com.
