There will be a show in Seattle from 14 to 17 March 2002. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kent Lufkin Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 4:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fly Fishing Show (was: Re: Bummer! No ISE show this year!) Richard,
I was intrigued about your mention of the Fly Fishing Show at
Meydenbauer Center. I'm certainly ready for a flyfishing-only show
that's not as diluted as the ISE by spin and bait fishing gear,
hunting stuff, and all those lodges and outfitters.
The Meydenbauer Center web site (http://www.meydenbauer.com) didn't
list it as a coming attraction, so I called Guest Services to find
out more.
The Fly Fishing Show is indeed booked for February 22 and 23, 2003.
No, that's not a typo - it's year after next!
