3rd Pomeranian Fly-Tying Workshops
The Pomeranian Fly-Tying Workshops are for people who want to learn from practitioners rather than repeat unverified theories from YouTube. Our instructors are not only highly skilled at the vice; above all, they fish, test ideas and return from the water with specific conclusions. You receive knowledge verified in practice: what works, why it works and how to reproduce it yourself without getting lost online.
In a few hours here, you can collect more useful answers than through months of searching, comparing and checking questionable information. This is not limited to fly tying. We discuss equipment selection, setup configurations, presentation, material details, practical tricks and mistakes that can cost real money—or an entire season without results.
The heart of the event is the Fly-Tying Carousel: several themed stations and rotations that expose you to different styles, methods and approaches instead of keeping you at one table with one pattern. In the third edition, both participants and instructors rotate. We plan to have more instructors than stations, so each instructor arrives fresh, focused and ready. The result is better quality: more direct contact with instructors, less crowding and more practical detail.
Whether you are just starting or have already spent many hours at the vice and on the water, you come here to organise your knowledge, ask questions, clear up doubts and return to the water with a plan. This is not a formal lecture; it is a community of people who take fly fishing seriously and pursue it with real passion.
Programme of the 3rd Pomeranian Fly-Tying Workshops
This year we are expanding what worked in the previous edition—the station carousel and rotations—and adding new attractions and zones. The programme is still being finalised, so we will keep publishing new items, guests and surprises.
Friday – 17 April (optional start for early arrivals)
18:00–19:00 – Bonfire at tuBaza
An informal gathering for people arriving early who want to begin the weekend calmly and without rushing.
Please note: the bonfire depends on weather and organisational conditions. We will confirm it closer to the date. If conditions are wintry or unsafe, it will not take place.
Saturday – 18 April (three zones + evening programme)
– 09:00 – Opening
– 09:15–18:00 – three zones operating simultaneously
Fly-Tying Zone – Fly-Tying Carousel (6 stations)
-
6 instructor stations
-
limited places at each station
-
participants rotate between stations
-
instructors rotate at selected times
-
Station for younger participants
Gear Zone – outdoors, in tents
This is a place to examine equipment calmly, cast the rods and test solutions that are normally difficult to compare in physical shops. Being able to cast an interesting rod, compare it with others and pair it with different line types is invaluable. There will also be a fly-tying materials stand and Geoff Anderson clothing.
Talks Zone.
Short thematic sessions and conversations about subjects that genuinely save time and money: materials, as well as fundamental and advanced technical aspects of tackle configuration. The detailed schedule and topics will be announced soon.
