Fly fishing show??

[Fishybig]

I get free beer there. I grew up with the beer concessionaire

Beer?? Yuck you heathens...ill stick with the hard liquor

Me too, but they don't sell it there if I recall. So free beer it is!

I can only remember one yr with no booze....i think it was the 1st yr in edison....so i had wine instead

I got an email from Robert Bolt (bamboo rod maker) that him and Marc Aroner were not attending as originally planned. I don't know Marc, but Bob is in his 60's and i have to assume that is why. Will there be a mask requirement, i was thinking about going but i am not wearing a mask all day.

I am sitting in the Native Fish Coalition booth all day Saturday, but have yet to hear if there are any caveats regarding masks. I will not sit in a booth all day wearing a mask. Can't tell you how much I hate and avoid wearing them. Doctor visits only these days.

I'm scheduled to work the Native Fish Coalition booth on Saturday. Stop by and introduce yourself and say hello!

[cappy]

I'm going to pass this year. Don't need anything, and I never found any true bargains there either over the years.
From what I saw in the 2022 vendors list, is many of the manufacturers will not be attending. I assume they are relying on their retailers to represent their products.

With regard to the storm, to early to tell. Thursday should know if it's a big storm or a bust and who will be impacted.

[Fishybig]

Did anybody go today?? How was the turnout? Alot less venders from what ive heard, but that was kind of expected...

[46er]

They would have really, really wanted to go. Over a foot of white fluffies up there. We had around 20".

I heard a lot less vendors , but same fee to get in the door ... How does that work ??? Supply Chain ? Inflation ??? Or my customers aren't that important .

Put yourself in the owner's shoes. They had zero income last year and reduced income this year. What appeared to be a solid business model isn't when a pandemic hits. He's just trying to survive and he has to pay the Edison center for leasing the building.

I agree with you totally different circumstances .... But the guys been cashing in for 30yrs hand over fist ..... Vendors fees , door fees ....very low overhead . Gotta adapt , he adapted and moved the Massachusetts & Denver dates .

I think you get alot of bang fer ur buck....just the seminars, casting demonstrations and authors booth's makes it all worth it....especially considering a handfull of these guys are truly famous innovators in the flyfishing world.....

When the pickle guy shows up it's the kiss of death, just like the Outdoor show in Edison.
