Somerset Show 2008
To get back on topic... I just got my FF Show flier in the mail today and the only guys scheduled for this year to do seminars that I've seen before are Ed Engle, Ozzie, and Berry Beck. Are there any other guys you would recommend that are good speakers and won't put me to sleep? Joe D, You going to be there this year?

Now I know exactly which seminars to attend at the FF Show. :dizzy: It might be beneficial to us here at NEFF if you cut back on the number of bottles of Mexican **** with a lime you force down each day.

rct - some power shopping tactics that might work for you - if you are
more interested in selection than price, go early, especially Friday. During the weekend seminars and demos, the booths are usually a tad less crowded if you want some one-on-one with a vendor. If price is your biggest consideration, stay late on Sunday, just before folks start packing up. If the day is light, because of snow or whatever, this may be as early as noon. Keep in mind that the vendors, especially the ones from far away and the ones who are not going on directly to the next show, don't want to cart a bunch of stuff home. So they may be willing to give you a better show price, especially if you show interest in getting more than one item with them. tl les |

Can you recommend any of the fresh water fly fishermen that will be conducting seminars? I'm familiar with Ozzie, Ed Engel, and Berry Beck, but none of the others.

I'm guessing the speakers are all pretty good - get to the room early for any talk you are interested in. Here's my take on a few of the guys I have seen/know: Gary Borger - Legend and fish magnet - his talks will be popular and good. Get a seat early. Jim Freda - One of top guides on Jersey Shore. Knows his sal****er stuff. Explains seasonal striper patterns better than anyone I have every seen Ben Turpin - Young, folksy guide and good fisherman. Based in Poconos, but guides around State College a lot too. Used to live near Belvidere and knows Pequest very well. If you see him guiding on the Little Lehigh or Pequest watch what he does. If you can peek into his fly box do so. Ken Tutalo - Owner Baxter House in Roscoe and knows his Catskills/Upper Delaware stuff. No slouch in NJ either. (he should be at Hacklebarneys 1/10/08 meeting) Mike Lawson - Good guy. Hope Blue Ribbon Flies has a booth because they have the best wild bird soft hackles and deer hair I have ever used. Used to be my first stop every year (TroutHunter for CDC was my second stop). Originator of some real good patterns and a nice guy. Bob Popovics - NJ sal****er fly legend. His flies work. Ken Reinard - the colonial angler. If you are interested in fishing history this is a talk for you. He usually has a booth if you miss his presentation. Usually the guys on the circuit are good - if you see something of interest to you go early to get a seat. Some of the less famous guys are valuable because they can give you a quirky, road less traveled view. Last year a guy was pushing a book on streamer fishing Lake Winipesaukee. Not most exciting talk, but a different take on things and I learned a few tricks that have served me well. -- JeffK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JeffK's Profile: http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti...php?userid=334 View this thread: http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti...ad.php?t=13398 ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

As always, the -"Great"- AK has spoken. Gosh! I hadn't noticed that it was a quote from you! I thought it was just from some Irish implant that had some sort of aversion to guys who quote movies! I guess the fact that you stopped throwing around the whole "Laddie this" and Laddie that" shtick, threw me off. HUH! I would have never guessed that he would wind up doing the very thing he seemed to deride. AK, you are just one walking dichotomy!(Oxymoron intended) By the way, I don't have to save ANYONE'S posts; DC does that for all of us. -- Future Fanatic John Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.--Henry David Thoreau ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Future Fanatic's Profile: http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti...php?userid=123 View this thread: http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulleti...ad.php?t=13398 ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
