We are excited to offer Southwest PA an amazing Fly Fishing Experience! This is the 24th Annual Cabin Fever Expo, sponsored and run by the Penn’s Woods West Chapter of Trout Unlimited. We have built out an amazing agenda and added top vendors to give you access to materials, equipment and gear. This year we will have a focus on Fly Tying with tying demonstrations, top tyers showing you their tricks and you can visit tyers row to up your own game. Come meet top conservation partners who can teach you how you can make a difference to our rivers by making small changes right in your own backyard.

Below is an example of speakers from the 2024 event. A list of the 2025 speakers will be released soon.
