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.

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.

I don't think this show will last much longer.

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
