The fact that the Dutch Federation of Flyfishers (VNV) and the Fly Fair both celebrate their thirty year jubilee in 2016, was an excellent reason for the parties concerned to organize this Fly Fair together.

Visitors will be able to attend fly casting and fly dressing demonstrations, be informed about and attend various workshops, admire a very advanced technical tour de force or various amazing old-fashioned crafts.
