SWE Fishing Fair recap

[Pete_G]

I just wanted to say thanks to all the people that come out for this show as well as the SWE staff that put in LONG hours to make it happen. It's always the highlight of my winter.

It doesn't take much to get me fired up about getting out on the water, but hanging out with the best plug builders, fly tyers, rod builders, and hardcore fisherman that come down to Newport really gets me inspired to fish even harder in the coming season. The people and social atmosphere that is sometimes lost in the big shows is what makes this one special for me.

We'll be aiming to make the show a little bit bigger and definitely better in the coming years without losing the things that make it different.

Hope to see everyone again next year.

I think it will be the best show I go to all year, it was great my wife and I had a great time, The needle fish talk was an outstanding talk I also got to meet alot of guys I just talked to on the internet. there was plenty of time to talk to all the venders and plug builders. I learned alot. it was a great take. and well worth the drive. I don't think you have to change much Pete.

Thanks Bob

My wife and I are still talking about the talk DZ gave on the needle fish. It left a lasting impression. I can't wait till June now when I go to Needlefish Island.
