Just got back from the show. Not as large as in years past, seemed more geared towards fly fishing destinations than anything else. Alot more empty space than in years past. Still nice to walk around and look at some gear in the middle of winter, but the show is def going downhill for whatever reason.
SKIP N, Number one COMPLANT---> COST---> booth space is now in the $800.00 + range. as long as I keep getting INVITED Ill keep going. FOUND od-ball MATERIALS nice brown/white SKUNK, MAGPIE CAPE, an SUPERLONG Deer Hair.
GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN
I agree the show has not been very good in the last few years. I like going to cast all the new rods though, though this year the pit was tiny and hard to cast with 2 people in it. Somerset is to crowded for me because I like to just cast rods all day one after the other.
The show was a disappointment. Very sparse. I spoke to a vendor who said they might not be coming back.
So, I'll go to Somerset next year instead. I'm not going to Marlboro any more unless it changes. The reason I went is to meet the guys after a long time off the water. FishHawk
