Here is the list of exhibitors that will be at the show:

http://www.squarefeetevents.ca/sportsmen/exhibitor-list.asp

Between a few Lower Mainland stores that are attending, you should be able to find what you need.

it's also a good opportunity for you to ask manufacturers questions about products that you are interested in.

  Gee maybe I can find out why the clicker on the new islander searuns are so weak.

or why the bearings have such a rumble, or why the space between the spool and backplate is so big that line gets caught in it....I sold mine after using it twice, junk

Looks to be a good show...
Checked over the list & even the Sooke Resort /marina is represented.
Something there should interest somebody.

May be wrong on this but this show may be more geared to the fresh water fisherman & the International Vancouver Boat Show more to the salt sportsfisherman/& cruising boats...

Me too. He is so excited. I just picked him up from school and he says this must be a good day as he got his new baseball bat delivered today and now he wins tickets. Oh to be a kid again.

Hi Guys,

Anyone at the show tonight see any good deals on breathable waders from any of the vendors?

I am working all weekend but may have a couple hours late Saturday afternoon and would really like a good reason to make the trip out from Vancouver

Cheers

Was there yesterday in the afternoon - the place was packed - almost needed a shuttle service from the parking lot - met Rod at the DNE booth.  Many Vendors selling their wares - saw some breathable waders there but didn't note the prices as I wasn't in the market for them.  I was however drooling at a few of the boats from Wellscraft. Man o man o man!  ;D
