Thanks again Marco for the coffee and leave those girls alone. ;D ;D ;D

Was he still trying next door after I left? ::)
Yes and then he moved down to another booth in the main room. A busy man indeed tonight. ;D ;D He was good enough to buy Floon and I a coffee but later bought the girl next door a candy apple. ??? ::) ;D

Yep thats the guy who put the fishing bug into me some 35 years ago. I swear that guy has caught more fish than I've had hot meals. I don't know if he will like me posting this, BUT he can be found on most sunny days bar fishing at the foot of Burns Rd. Yep, Uncle Bert (Fly Fisher Extraordinare) fishes with BAIT!!!! :o

Thank you newsman (Jeff), DanTfisherman (Dan) and flyderaght (Marc from FishBC) for helping out at our booth today. It was insanely crowded today! The traffic was non-stop during the first four hours.

I also had a chance to meet some FWR forum members today, thank you all for dropping by and saying hi. :)

Thanks Buckeye and Don for manning the booth as well.


One more day! :) Itosh, Trout Slayer and Chrome Mykiss will be doing the fly tying tomorrow. We look forward to see everyone!

Can't believe you went fishing when you could have been wading through a bunch of smelly, sweaty bodies!  ;D

Had a lot of fun at the show. Thanks for tying us up some expert flies newsman! Looking forward to trying that cutty pattern you gave me.
I posted some pics from today, but they are kinda too big for smallband users so here is a link: http://members.shaw.ca/Pimmetje/

By the crowd arounds Hubs pontoon display,it sure looked like a lot of people were purchasing them.The crew ahead of us bought 5 of them  :o They were even cheaper than last year thanks to our strong can dollar ;D My nefew picked up a fishcat 9 for $549,i paid 599 last year  but i enjoyed it this year ;)

They had sedge fly rod outfits for $99 that included 5wt rod ,decent reel,backing,line and aeven a rod case......you do the math and add all that up.....great beg setup for $100

Wow that's a screaming deal! Wish I knew a few months ago, could have sent a bunch of students there.
