I have gone to many fishing shows with Rich. I have to say this was one of the best. It had something for everyone. The hunting section was just as lively as the fishing section. There were hundreds of vendors and for some reason each one had something different to offer.

I usually get bored to tears because how many plugs can you look at. Every vendor I saw held my attention in some way.

I enjoyed the fly casting demonstration. Something we are going to learn about this year.

There were these guys, Will and Richard Zelnner, with some plugs they made. They demonstrated how they worked by having a large tub of water and a small pole. I think Rich has them profiled above in a previous post.

This one guy Dan, explained to me all about the feathers of ducks. He had a large display which all said do not touch. He let me dig my finger in the bottom of one to see how thick the feathers are. It amazed me how soft some of the duck feathers can be.

My favorite of course was Brody the bear. I think it was good that they brought something like this to the show because it really brought informative information about bears. The owner went into great detail about bear safety.

They also had a dog show which discussed hunting dogs. That was good for all the kids. It showed how fast they can run and retrieve even in water.

When it comes around again I suggest you go. Bring the family on Sunday because that seemed to be family day.

Thanks for taking me Rich!
