Good show. Saw Slip there with John from SOL, they were on a mission for a vise and some select bucktails. (think they were on the Habs clock) Bucktails, feathers etc. were pretty picked through, at the reasonably priced booths anyway.
Lefty Kreh's talk on casting was worth the drive alone. 78 years young and he sends that line beyond the casting pool with the smoothest motion. Many of his "rules" are applicable to spin and baitcasting I think. FishEye will be there Sunday. If you haven't seen that video, go to the show, or buy it. (I saw some of it at the get together last month)
If you think our gear is expensive, you should see some of the prices these fly reels command. And the Van Stahl booth was vacant, ie. not even set up.
So I got a little bit of a fix, and am a little ornery as I look out at 37 degree water.....
Slip, how'd you like the feathered deceiver fly my friend Dave B made on that leadhead?
