Dear Tier:

The 30th annual International Fly Tying Symposium is returning to the Hilton in Parsippany, NJ on November 21st and 22nd, 2020. You are invited to the 2020 Symposium, so please complete the following forms. If you know a tier who doesn’t receive email, or wants to tie, have them contact us and we will mail an invitation.

Complete   the   form on   page 3 choosing   one   of   the   following   categories:

Category #1: Where you only demonstrate your art and do not sell which entitles you to a free 8-foot table and two stools shared with a second tier. Each tier will have 4’ to display.

Category   #2: Sales are allowed. FEE of $290 due by August 1st, 2020 and is an 8- foot table for one tier and one stool. This fee also includes ONE ticket to the banquet. Tiers from foreign countries will also be given a complimentary banquet ticket and a shared category #1 table for the entire symposium.

Category   #3: Includes an 8-foot table and one stool for each tier. One banquet ticket is included and a second ticket is available at the registration counter. Fee of $320 due by August 1st, 2020.

In all three categories you receive free electricity, but please bring an extension cord for your light. A longer cord is better than a short cord.

Also each tier will have a stool. If you need an extra stool you can bring your own or rent one from our decorator. Borrowing a stool will be the same as stealing one and you will be escorted to the exit door.

If you want to split the fee and share a category #3 table with a fellow tier, that is OK, but the fee must be paid in full by the tier who is requesting the table. You can settle the split payment with each other.

Please complete the form and return it as soon as possible. We need to have your request and payment by August 1st, 2020. SOONER IS BETTER. After August 1 st , 2020 the fee will increase by $20 in your chosen category.

Sincerely,Chuck Furimsky

FLY PLATE SUBMISSIONTiers: The flies you send will never be fished, just looked at so please take note:

SUGGESTIONS

COLOR: Strong deeply colored flies will stand out better against the off-white background.

SIZE: Smaller trout type flies-no smaller than #14. Salt water and Bass type-there is limited space so please try to keep your flies inside 4-5” range.

MATERIALS: Please do not send flies that will explode in the frame. Materials like marabou, long ostrich herl, flash-a-bou, etc. may be great for fishing but lousy for presentation. These softer materials will drop, fritz-out and look ragged after a short time.

SIGNATURES: Call our office and we will mail your signature card to you. Please sign all of the cards using a #2 graphite pencil only! It is your autograph and how you sign your name is your prerogative, but remember, years from now there will be someone wondering, “Who the hell is that?” if it is illegible.

PACKING FLIES: Sometimes flies arrive in poor condition and need surgery and most times I can fix them, if I know what they’re supposed to look like.

Send everything to:

Ted Patlen261 Turtleback RoadMarstons Mills, MA 02648tedpat090@yahoo.comHome phone: 774 228-2462

Deadline is September 11th – DO NOT SEND AFTER September 11th
