If its not one thing its another. After the postponement of the Marlboro Fly Fishing Show it felt good that the Edison New Jersey Fly Fishing Show was going on for sure. Yeah, we suspected attendance would be down with Covid still on the go. But the last thing we needed was a huge snowstorm.
On Friday night parts of the East coast, including NJ, got hammered with blizzard conditions. Though it wasn’t nearly as bad as forecasted, once that forecast is made, folks plan to stay home. Saturday was one of the quietest fly fishing show days I can remember. Overall the entire weekend was quieter than expected.
A slow show isn’t the end of the world however. I took advantage of having extra downtime to do up my sharpie art on cool items like the Riversmith rod carriers. I also to time took visit with other vendors and in particular, the local fly tyers. I rarely get to meet these guys but was able to mull around and check them all out. I even picked up a few nice flies. There’s a lot of talent at these events.
Granny and I returned to Wolfeboro, NH this week to visit mom and get caught up. This weekend we’ll fire up the new van and head out for another two months. First stop will be the Denver Fly Fishing Show. We hope to see you there!
See you in Denver!
RIght on Kristen!
