February 13th – 14th, 2016 — The Fly Fishing Show — Lynwood Convention Center
Very excited to be partnering with Costa for this show this year.  We will have staff on hand to answer questions on the multitude of fisheries in Washington we guide as well as discuss new locations for our international hosted travel.  Look forward to seeing everyone there.  Dave McCoy will be presenting daily on Fly Fishing Western Washington as well.

April 29th – 30th, 2016 — IFFF Show — Ellensburg — 9am – 5pm
We will be man/womaning a booth at the long standing IFFF trade and fly tying show in Ellensburg which occurs in April this year.  One or more of our staff will likely be teaching specific classes as well as presenting on various topics we spend much of our time on.  These are yet to be determined and will be changed on here once we finalize details.

May 5th, 2016 — ReWilding Washington — Chase Gunnell — 7pm — FREE
Chase is with Conservation Northwest and will be presenting on the regaining of wild and native species across our wonderful state.  The concept is to provide an overview of how we have a unique opportunity in Washington to restore some of our most iconic wildlife species, protect and connect wild habitat across the region, and in turn provide a host of benefits for other animals, fish and people. And all of this is possible, and happening right now, even with the rapid population growth and development occurring in our state.  Species will include lynx, wolverine and wolf among others, this will be a must see for the youth in your life.
