SUMMARY:Sowbug Roundup
DESCRIPTION:Description from event website: \nThe Sowbug Roundup is a three day fly tying and fly fishing show that is held in  Mountain Home Arkansas. The next Sowbug Roundup will be held March 26th\, 27th\, and 28th\, 2020. This is the 23rd year that the North Arkansas Fly Fishers (NAFF) have put on the Sowbug Roundup. The first Sowbug had 20 tyers and 150 attendees. The 2019 Sowbug had over 140 fly tiers and over 1000 attendees. \nThe Sowbug is basically a fly tying show. The tiers come from all over the USA and there are usually two or three from overseas. The show floor is set up to facilitate access to the fly tyers. Attendees are very much encouraged to sit and talk to the tyer as he ties a fly. The tiers love to talk about fly tying\, fly fishing\, and how to tie a fly \nThe full name of the show is the international Sowbug Roundup\, a Celebration of Fly Fishing. One of the goals of the Sowbug is to encourage more people\, especially young people\, to become involved in fly fishing. That is why we keep the entrance fee at $10.00 per person for all three days and kids under 12 free. Every day we have free introductory fly tying classes. Free fly casting lessons are available every day. The seminars (included in the entrance fee) are chosen to appeal to fly fishers of every experience level. On Saturday we hold a free drawing for kids for fly fishing gear. \nThe Sowbug Roundup is not a “vendor show” but we do have a nice selection of vendors selling fly fishing / fly tying products. ( no ginsu knives or insurance! ) The vendors come from all over the US. (The Sowbug has a waiting list for vendors). \nSome of the names that you might recognize are Dave Whitlock\, Davy Wotton\, Duane Hada\, and TFO rods. \nThe Sowbug Roundup is the North Arkansas Fly Fishers sole annual fund raising event. The income from the raffles and silent auctions allow NAFF to finance its environmental and philanthropic activities. NAFF allocates $10\,000 every year for scholarships to students majoring in the fishery or environmentally related fields. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n\n	Related
