As a conservation and education partner with Fly Fishers International, The Fly Fishing Show is proud to announce that FFI will have a Learning Center at their Atlanta Show on January 31st-February 1st. The show will be held at the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth, Georgia. Times are Friday from 9:00am to 6:00pm, and Saturday from 9:00am to 5:30pm.
The Fly Fishing Show is the largest fly fishing event in America, held at seven venues during late winter. The Atlanta venue is the closest to the Gulf Coast Council, just over 5 hours from Meridian, and 5.5 hours from Mobile.
The Atlanta Fly Fishing Show will feature over 100 vendors, some 60 demonstrations, fly-casting and fly-tying seminars, films, tackle and gear, guide services and conservation organizations. Classes and seminars are given hourly both days by flyfishing notables, guides, and other experts.
The FFI Learning Center at the show will offer FREE fly fishing instruction, basic fly casting, fly tying and instruction on knots. These activities will be available to beginners throughout the day Friday and Saturday. In addition, members of the FFI Southeastern Council (and elsewhere) will be on hand to talk about how FFI membership benefits conservation and fly fishing education.
