Press release here:

Southern Culture on the Fly, the South’s leading online fly fishing magazine, will hold their annual Tie-One-On-Athon Sunday, Feb. 24, noon to 6 p.m.

The fundraiser draws in some of the region’s best fly tiers including guides, shop owners and commercial tiers, who will see how many flies they can tie for Project Healing Waters, a non-profit dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of wounded veterans through fly fishing and fly tying.

New this year: the public is invited to bring their vises and join in the fly tying. Those who bring their vises to tie receive free admission. Other highlights include:

• Food provided by DOUGH

• Beer on tap from Green Man Brewery

• Giveaways from sponsors

• Fly tying contests

Held right in the heart of downtown Asheville at 80 N. Lexington Avenue, Suite C. Advance tickets available for $10 at Hunter Banks, 29 Montford Ave., and at the door the day of the event. Presented by Southern Culture on the Fly, The Hunter Banks Company and The Fiberglass Manifesto. See the event’s page on Facebook for a complete list of sponsors.
