It was this past weekend, and sure put that San Mateo
Show to shame.
Never seen so many fly-fisherman converge in one area.
Lots of vendors, seminars, fly-tying, excellent presentations.

It was a great show. All the big vendors were there, and they had enough
going on to keep a person busy for 2 days. Unfortunately, after a 2 1/2
hr. drive to get there, I had to leave after 2 1/2 hrs. at the show.
Daughter got sick and duty called. I still go in a seminar, wander the
isles a bit, talked to friends, and cast a 5wt blank from New Zealand. I
doubt i'll attend another ISE Show in the near future.

Brians,
I should have emailed you before hand, actually forgot you were going to
the show. I would have treated you to lunch, not there, but at Vics
restaurant
down the street. (Better food).
Ok, $8.oo parking, $14.oo entry, and $7.oo for "a" Sierra Nevada???
Then had the pleasure of listening to two anglers get into a ****ing
contest
at the upsidedown fly booth.

Tom,

Thanks for the offer. I would've much rather done that, than the hotdog
I got at the snack bar. As it worked out, I had just enough time to walk
the isles a couple times, get in one seminar(Ca. Stripers by John
Sherman)cast one rod, and deliver a pontoon boat to a friend of mine. My
buddy had the same call of duty, at almost the same time, with his
daughter puking too. :-) We both drove out of the parking lot together.
