United Fly Tyers 50th Anniversary Celebration

UNITED FLY TYERS
50th ANNIVERSARY GALA
This year marks the 50th anniversary of United Fly Tyers, the country's oldest fly tying club. Since 1959, UFT has been an integral part of the fly tying landscape, attracting not only national, but international attention as well. Guest speakers have included many luminaries of the fly tying community and the club has provided fly tying education to literally thousands of people, many of whom have gone on to greatness in the art of fly tying. UFT's periodical, Roundtable, was the first and, at one time, only publication dedicated to fly tying. Members, men and women of all ages, continue to hold meetings on the first Thursday of each month in Woburn, Mass. and welcome any one interested in fly tying.
