| We will be having a Tiers' and Liars' Barbeque on Tuesday, August 30 at noon to 4 pm, just prior to the official opening of the main Conclave events. All demonstration tiers, Fly Tying Group members, and their spouses are welcome. The location is the Parade Rest Guest Ranch, 1279 Grayling Creek Road, overlooking Hebgen Lake, 10 miles north of West Yellowstone. Click here for a detailed map. The menu is barbequed steak and chicken, beans, salad, cole slaw, with a watermelon and carrot cake dessert. Water, coffee, and soda pop are included; no-host bar for beer. |  |

Be prepared for the Blind Wooly Bugger Contest and the Team Tying Contest (one person is the right hand and the other person is the left hand)! Team Tying: Buszek Award winner Al Beatty as the left hand is giving tying lessons to Fly Tying Group Chairman David Nelson as the right hand.
(You should have heard the laughs as David broke the thread!)
Registration
All members of the Fly Tying Group and all demonstration tiers (who all should already be members of the Fly Tying Group; if not, see the membership application) plus their spouse or a guest are invited to the BBQ. The registration form is online here.
There will be two different raffles held at the BBQ: a bucket raffle and a fly raffle.
The bucket raffle will be for a variety of different items including fly tying tools, gift certificates, framed flies, boxes of flies, and any other appropriate items that we can obtain. Each item will have a container (the “bucket”) placed next to it and participants can place as many raffle tickets in the bucket as they desire. Obviously the more tickets that you place in a bucket, the greater the chance that you will win that item (however, I put 50 tickets in a bucket last year only to lose the item to an individual who only put 2 tickets in ... the luck of the draw). We hope to have 30-40 nice items for the bucket raffle.
Each person registering for the BBQ and paying the $25 meal fee will receive 25 bucket raffle tickets in their registration packet. Additional bucket raffle tickets will be available for purchase during the BBQ: 6 tickets for $5; 12 tickets for $10; and 25 tickets for $20.
The fly raffle represents a separate raffle (and a different color of raffle ticket will be used). Each person who brings a box of at least 6 flies for the fly raffle will be given one ticket. The boxes of flies will be collected and the tickets will be drawn one at a time. Each winner will be able to select a box of flies from those still remaining. Obviously the person whose ticket is drawn first has the greatest choice of selection while the person whose number is drawn last gets the last available fly box. This raffle is intended to be a fun way to exchange flies. Everyone who enters wins! Provide your best flies so that you don’t suffer the indignity of having your box selected last.
FlySwitch
Each fly tier who donates a box of 6 or more flies will be entered in a special drawing for the flies donated by the other tiers. Everyone who participates wins a box of flies! Here is the FlySwitch information flyer.

Shadow box with four original I certify that these flies are original POTT flies stolen from the residue of the Pott Fly Company by Frank Johnson, November 2010. The card they are mounted on is from the 1950’s or before, the leaders and he rubber stamps used to identify the flies are also from the residue and the age of the rubber stamps and leaders is unknown. Some of the less common patterns may be from the 1940’s. The owners of the Pott Fly Co. will attest that the flies were, in fact, stolen and are original. Item happily donated to FFF/FTG by: Buszek Award Winner Frank Johnson |
