The Denver Fly Fishing Show was back in full form this past weekend. I’m so glad! Last winter was long due to not being out and about demonstrating on the casting ponds and teaching seminars to live audiences. I also missed folks bringing me their backpacks and fly boxes to decorate for them with my artwork along with showing off my art on mugs, steins and shirts. But after this weekend, it appears the Covid fears are behind most. The event was packed!
The show was held at a new venue this year as well – the Gaylord Convention Center only minutes from the Denver Airport. The place is outstanding. Its clean and new and the seminar rooms were fantastic. I did two presentations a day and drew on almost a dozen packs, hats and fly boxes. It was also great to hang with fellow speaking buddies, Landon Mayer, Alice Owsley and Phil Rowley to name a few.
The show rapped up Sunday afternoon and we kicked back for a good Superbowl. The only disappointment for me was that the Packers weren’t playing. This morning Granny and I loaded the van and headed south. Next stop – Phoenix where we will get a bike rack for the van and do some fishing. You may remember that last year I was skunked trying to add the Sonora sucker to my species list. I’m hoping to rectify the situation this week before continuing along with the speaking tour 2022. Stay tuned!
