It's that time of year again, the time for fishing shows! What's the best way to scratch the "fishing itch" when the snow is flying? Head south to warmer climates is one answer, however, second best are the fishing and boat shows across New England. Three weeks ago, while the thermometer read in negative numbers, the Marlborough Fly Fishing Show was the place to be. I sat in the Massachusetts Women Fly Fishers booth tying flies and promoting MWFF, an on-line organization that provides women interested in fly fishing with opportunities for casting lessons, fly tying lessons, fishing excursions, and more. Next weekend (Feb. 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th) is the Worcester Sportsmans Show/Eastern Fishing & Outdoor Exhibition @ the DCU Center in Worcester. This show is pretty cool as they have hunting dog exhibitions and my personal favorite "birds of prey" -a live exhibit of owls & hawks.
February 28th is the Bear's Den Annual Fishing Show. Visit www.bearsden.com for further details. Once again, I'll be sitting in the MWFF booth so be sure to stop by and say hello. This show we'll be raffling of some of Peggy Brenner's & Leslie Wrixon's flies.
April 3rd, 4th & 5th brings the Rhode Island Saltwater Fishing Show @ the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. I'll be at the St. Croix Fishing Rods booth all three days of that show so stop by and see what St. Croix has new for 2009!
In ain't fishing, but it's the next best thing! Hope to see you at the shows.
