What are you doing on Pi Day?

We’ll be at Tree House Brewery in South Deerfield for Flies, Pies & Lies — an afternoon built around fly tying, pizza, and the sharing of fish tales.

Saturday, March 14
11am–4pm

All are welcome to come and stay as long as you'd like. Bring your vise, materials, and appetite. If you’ve never tied before, this is a good place to start — we’ll have instruction, vises, and materials on hand so beginners can jump right in.

We’ll also share highlights from our latest aquatic macroinvertebrate survey and suggest fly patterns that reflect which bugs are most prevalent in the Deerfield River.

We will be providing pizza from Treehouse and there will be raffles throughout the event. If you feel compelled and it is within your means to do so, donations are accepted as all proceeds will go towards future conservation projects in the Deerfield River Watershed. Some upcoming projects in need of funding include repeat macroinvertebrate surveying as well as a new annual spawning survey.

We also want to thank our sponsors who are helping support this event:
Deerfield Fly Shop
Firehole Outdoors
Sugarloaf Tackle

Feel free to DM with any questions, we hope to see you there!

Many of you may have already heard, but we recently lost AK Best. For decades, AK was a celebrated speaker at TFFS and one of the most knowledgeable fly tiers of our time—he quite literally wrote the book on dyeing materials. Though he retired from speaking years ago, his presence will be deeply missed at the shows, on the water, and at the vise. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his friends and family.

Just received my Master upgrade to my Maine Guide license today. This is something I've been working towards for years now. 😬
