Are we sure we are not confusing this with the FFF show that has been held at the Maydenbauer center in the last few years. Our fly club (Greywolf Fly Fishers) was asked to do a rod building demo at their next show which is held in late Feb or Mar if I remember right. Didn't have the dates at the meeting the other night. I sure would like to see that east coast show here, as long as they brought some of the east coast people (tiers,etc) with them. Tom Thompson
