I have yet to discover any real "deals" at the FFS. I am assuming it is
simple economics because of the high cost of renting floor space for
those three days the retail fly shops simply cannot afford to sell their
wares at a reduced cost.

99, I too would like to know the name of that fly shop who turned you
away from buying a vise.

The name of Mike Hogue was brought up, if you have the time he usually
gives a presentation on what new products are now out on the market.
Well worth the time to sit in on.

It appears that the latest trend at the FFS is the reduced number of
fly shops and the increased number of lodges and guide services. This
will be the first year that I plan on attending just the first two days.
Friday is to but materials and other items, Saturday is to attend the
presentations.


All and all it is one weekend of the year I look forward to.
