Cancellation of Bending Feathers 2024 and postponement to 2025

Sadly, the organisers of the Bending Feathers fly tying show had to postpone this year’s fly tying symposium to November 2025. Unfortunately, according to the Public Holidays Act (FTG) in the Bavarian Collection of Laws in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck, the general sale and holding of entertainment events on public holidays (for the show this would be the Sunday of the Dead (November 17th 2024)) is not permitted.

 

 

The organisers had hoped to find a solution, but it would have been difficult to organise the Bending Feathers under the given circumstances. As they had not been able to find a new date and suitable location in the short time available, they will be postponing the Bending Feathers for another year. The organisers will keep you up to date. They thank you for your understanding.

 

 

Extract from the law on the protection of Sundays and public holidays (Public Holidays Act – FTG) in the Bavarian Collection of Laws (BayRS 1131-3-I):
Art. 3 Quiet days
(2) On quiet days, public entertainment events are only permitted if the serious character corresponding to these days is preserved. 2Sports events are, however, permitted, except on Good Friday and on the Day of Prayer and Repentance. 3On Good Friday, musical performances of any kind are also prohibited in rooms with public houses.

 

 

Bending Feathers in November 2025

70 fly tyers from all over the world will come together over two days to present their best fly patterns and, of course, to also tie them live. Look over the shoulders of the fly tyers, learn new techniques, and get tips and tricks from the professionals. Fly patterns of all kinds will be shown, whether dry or wet flies, streamers, nymphs, realistic flies, or salmon flies.

 

 

You will also meet many exhibitors offering a wide range of fly tying materials and fly hooks, tools, and tying vices. The materials for the numerous fly patterns that you will see at the tying vices of the fly tyers can be bought from one or more exhibitors.
