It was a blast! So many people stopped to talk. Of course I had a 32 out for them to KINDA see. More people were interested in the Vosseler Vise.
I stopped by BS FLIES booth and talked to Lynn and the Boys. Even sold a couple of Henry's Lake Books for him (easiest sell I have ever made cause this book is the BOMB) Tied a little more then the casting competition took place and after getting hit wit leader a couple of times (These guys can throw a fly line) I took a walk and ended up at Denny Rickards Booth. We were talking away and with out thinking about it, I sold one of his Stillwater Books (one I got for Christmas and it is a fantastic book for our area), some of his Intermediate line, and three flies. He was just smiling while we were talking. He had a new pattern that I think is going to do some major damage on the waters. He gave me one to tear apart and copy. I will post pictures of it soon.
Met up with Nick and Steff Jones (The Vosseler Rep and Rainey Flies) cool couple but no cookies[:/] Steff always makes the best Chocolate Chip Cookies.
The day went fast, and allot for me, but I will say the show has turned to Trips and Guide service more than anything. The Garlic Booth and the Roasted Nuts Booth were still there however WAHOO!
Good displays and fun for kids, but not at all like the good ol days.
