It's always fun to test cast the >>new rods, turn the new reels, sit in on seminars, check out all the >>newest stuff, and maybe pick up a bargain or three. >> >>I received my Federation of Fly Fishers magazine yesterday, and I >>noticed on the "Show Calendar" list nothing was shown for Seattle. >>I went to the ISE website, and there are listings for a several >>shows everywhere but Seattle. >> >>I understand there is a new trade show, called the Fly Fishing >>Show, that is planned for Meydenbauer in February. I understand >>these shows have been held for 8 (?) years on the East Coast with >>some success, and the folks are just now heading out West. >>Seattle, San Fran area, and I think Denver are the first West shows. >> >>I wonder if ISE isn't coming here this year because of the new >>show. I've noticed in the last few years a marked decrease in >>attendance at the ISE show, and I'm sure down attendance probably >>had a big part in the decision. >> >>Bummer for no ISE, but yay for the new show. >> >>Richard Embry
