In a normal year, thousands of people from across the country and around the world head to Idaho Falls to attend the annual Eastern Idaho Fly Tying Expo in the beginning of April. However, due to the global pandemic, the Expo was canceled for the second year in a row.
Snake River Cutthroats Fly Fishing Club, a nonprofit organization, has over 400 members that cover fly fishing opportunities and events in eastern Idaho, including sponsoring the Expo, which is
one of the largest fly fishing expos in the nation.
This year would have been the 27th Expo to showcase fly fishing talent. It normally hosts fly tying, fly fishing and fly casting workshops, a fly tying theatre, a banquet, youth programs and destination programs.
