Sunday, February 28, opened with a Bible study that I held at the Show. Several of us had a great time together discussing the Word. Then, it was off to the races with the show. The Author’s Booth, a casting demonstration, a Power Point presentation on “Presentation,” and a fly tying session. The Author’s Booth is directly opposite from, what else, Ben Furimsky’s book booths–The Angling Bookstore.com. He carries everything. If you need a book, look him up.

And, of course, there was time to get around and BS with a few old friends like Ken Hanley, whose creative fly designs get the fish wired.

Another long-time pal, Jeff Currier, is working hard to get his art out there. His efforts are clean and represent the fish well, see more at jeffcurrier.com.
Jeff and some of his art.
And it’s always great to see the next generation so intensely involved. Jack ties a mean fly and casts one mean line. He’s 11, the same age I was when I started fly fishing. I wish I had been as good at 11 as Jack is.
