Pat Dorsey’s 2026 Speaking Schedule: I’m Looking forward to Visit Near You
If you’re looking to sharpen your skills on the water, learn a few tricks at the vise, or simply spend time with other fly fishing enthusiasts, attending a Fly Fishing Expo or Saturday Seminar is just what the doctor ordered. Pat Dorsey’s 2026 speaking calendar includes some of the best gatherings in the country where educators, innovative fly tiers, authors, top tier fly casters, and renowned fishing guides share their time-tested formulas for success. I’m truly blessed to be part of the team of professionals conducting these seminars, presentations, tying demonstrations, and signing books at these events across the country. Below is a full breakdown on where I’m traveling this year during show season.
