I heard that the show was "purchased" by another outfit (same one that does Puyallup). Heard rumors that they were going to split it into 2 shows, one hunting and one fishing. I will try to get an update...we've always had a booth and are trying to find out if we can get the same deal for the club.

I look forward every year to attend the International Sportsmen's Expo (ISE) held here in Seattle.� 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
