This weekend
the annual Marlboro Fly Fishing Show is going on. I went on Friday for most of
the day. The reason I go is because I enjoy going to seminars. I have to say, this
show is full of really good seminars. There are as many as 6-8 seminars EACH
HOUR.
On Friday I
went to four seminars. At 11 am, I went to “Sight Fishing for Great Lakes Carp.
The show I went to at noon was “Tactics to Successfully Fly Fish each of the
Northern New England Seasons”.
The show I
went to at 1 pm, was the one I most wanted to see. Its title was “A Tale of Two
Rivers: Cape Cod’s Sea Run Brook Trout. Lastly, at 2 pm, I went to a seminar about
rivers in Colorado.
There are
fly tying demonstrations and casting demos. Each hour there is a different
author at the “Author’s Booth”.
The actual
show is not very large. There are exhibiters for rods, reels, flies, and
lodges. I honestly didn’t spend a penny at the expo. I do think there are some
very good deals on rods. The people running the booths are very knowledgeable.
They will answer specific questions about flies that work on their water. I
spent five solid minutes talking with Lisa Sevard about the smaller lakes in
Pittsburg, NH in the Connecticut Lakes area.
