Denver Fly Fishing Show day 3
Today was another good day at the Show despite the snow storm that swept in last night. After a morning’s casting class, I gave a casting demonstration and then a presentation of “Fishing the Film.” Then after a book signing I had a half hour to get around the Show and see a couple of people that I wanted to chat with.
The guys at Fish Pond are offering Steve Thrapp’s Microtrash Container as a part of their product line. What a great idea this one is. It’s a great way to store chunks of trash leader material, a broken hook, and other small pieces of garbage that you’ve either generated or picked up along stream or lake. Small and lightweight, it give the fly fisher the perfect way to get rid of those annoying pieces of junk that we usually stuff in a shirt pocket or vest pocket and forget about until the next trip. To see this and other Fishpond products, head on over to their website: http://www.fishpondusa.com/
I also had a chance to chat with Walt and Susan Mueller who give us Otter’s Soft Eggs. These are the soft eggs that I use for steelhead, browns, salmon, and even stream trout. These are the eggs. Walt has a couple of new colors: Dead White and a wonderfully translucent Salmon Egg color. Walt has a new concept for using these eggs that he will soon release to fly fisher’s world wide. Watch for it on Walt’s site: www.softmilkingegg.com.
Fishpond's Microtrash container is a great way to hold small bits of fly fishing cast-offs.
Otter's soft eggs are available in a wide range of colors and sizes.
