Garden State Trout

Anyone been to this in the past? Thoughts, and are flies available for sale?

Yea this is just about a tradition for the weekend before Thanksgiving in NJ ( except 2 years ago it was in PA ). I think there's flys for sale , but it's more for the fly tier , but it's a great time none the less . Lots of experience in that room , take advantage of it .

I never knew about this. I just started tying so this should be cool. Something that is finally close to home.

I do enjoy this show. In some respects more that even the Edison Show. If you are a tyer or thinking of one I would highly recommend it. A bit more laid back than Edison and easier to talk to the tyers.

When I first went to this show , all the big names where there tying Kreh Talluer , Clouser , Gartside ,Edwards ,Borger, George Harvey attended and missing a bunch of others .Theyer importance pre internet was immense. But I guess I'm saying don't take these guys for granted , they won't be here forever , and no the old guys aren't there , but there are a few guys who are doing amazing things with feather and thread and or keeping alive techniques and traditions that need to be preserved

Bringing this back up. The show is this Weekend.
