Lynwood Fly Show 2014 Day 1
The show opened with a bang at 9 am on Saturday, February 15, 2014 Very quickly the crowd was surging through the aisles, looking, talking, buying. The energy was high. It’s been a long winter, and everyone is more than ready for the fishing season to burst forth. I gave a PowerPoint presentation on The Angler As Predator, followed by a casting demo. Then it was off to the author’s booth for book signing. My day ended with a tying demo on hackling techniques. All in a all a great day. The show runs through Sunday. Come on out if you’re in the area, and say “Hi.”
The crowd was thick and intense.
Marc Williamson, a long time friend, is showing others some of his tying trick and tips. The shows always have a great group of tiers.
Daniel Galhardo at Tenkara sharing a good laugh with me about shared experiences.
Daniel demonstrating Tenkara casting and line handling tactics.
Long time friend, Denny Rickards, laughing with his customers.
Outcast boats has some great new items this year. Plenty of gear on display and being sold at the Show.
One of the more unique displays was the art of Dave Allred. His sculptures of steel, brass, and copper have a very pleasant feel and strong appeal, as this trout shows.
Dave’s art extends to the insects, too.
Salt water species are within Dave’s artistic grasp, too, as this rooster fish clearly demonstrates.
The crowd at the casting demo, all pointing at my encouragement. This is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Three Point Grip.
The other side of the casting pool. Look at all those pointers. With the Three Point Grip, the forefinger not only adds great strength to the grip, but points the way of the cast.
