GOOD LUKC GOOD TYIN

I haven't gone in years as there is a reduction in attendance.
Seems to be prevalent across the board with flyfishing, not just an economic thing.

striperman36, the reduction seem to be because of MONEY-- BOOTH COST has been INCREASING YEARLY. will see how this year fairs:deadhorse:
GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN:cheers:

We stopped going when he started charging non-profits for booth space.

GOOD LUKC GOOD TYINI'll probibly be making the pilgrimage from the cape on friday when the door opens.Even with the decline in booths[which i understand]I always find some tasty stuff [feathers,gadjets,etc.]to put my hands on.Also tyers row I pick up a neat trick or two.I still feel it's worth the trip to support the show in general.I'll stop by to say hello.Where on the "row"?

Boy the last time I went a couple of years ago there were quite few open booth. The one I missed the most was SWE. Always pleasant running into those guys and thier knack of buying really uniquely colored tails.

Boy the last time I went a couple of years ago there were quite few open booth. The one I missed the most was SWE. Always pleasant running into those guys and thier knack of buying really uniquely colored tails.I agree.I would race to their booth and Down-N-Trouts booth first.Then go look elsewhere.I also miss English Trappings for all the different furs they had.Keough hackles was there 4 yrs ago and that was the last time for them[they have awesome capes].I'd love to go to somerset but it's just to far for a day.The SWE show will be on the adjenda later this winter.LIKE I "NEED" MORE STUFF.:rotf2:

I go every year, but mainly to visit with old friends - exhibitors, tyers and attendees alike. I find that I buy less and less each year.

Anybody have any info. Directions, where it is located in Marlboro and hours? Thinking about a run on a cold day......

Here you go Beamie:

The show is dying a slow death.I don't want to sound negative to those deciding to go later this weekend.I did get my admissions worth of "knowledge" and little tips just the amount of exhibitors selling tying stuff[i did get a few bargain hackles] was limited.Booking a trip somewhere?Some outfitters were discounting pretty good.I believe the trip from the cape will be to somerset next year.S.W.E. i wish you were there[I think you'd have made out very well].

the first day was a SUCCESS from what everyone I talked to SAID they were all happy an looking forward to saturday, guys were booking trip, reels/rods were being sold, lots of great tying stuff an great deals I thougt, picked up an new reel, an spent $200.00 on FEATHERS:bounce: all in all had plenty of time to chat w/ outhers an had a great day, if your going today would like to here YOUR EXPERIANCE,an THOUGHTS:rollem:
GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN:cheers:

it's 7 below, the diesel isn't happy I am staying here.

no dipstick heater? the fuel must be like honey.

The 2006 Jeep Liberty has a hockey puck fuel heater in the fuel filter.
no other plugs sticking out of the compartment.
It did start, as long as the glow plugs are light, after a few cranks.
