One Down – The Marlborough Fly Fishing Show 2024

by | Jan 8, 2024 | The Fly Fishing Show | 2 comments

flyfishing-showShow season is officially under way.  This weekend I spoke at The Marlboro Fly Fishing Show in MA.  Granny and I arrived Thursday afternoon and after setting up the booth had a quick workout at the hotel gym then it was a short jaunt to our favorite Indian Restaurant of the trip, Mirchi Nation.  We were not disappointed!

 

Friday and Saturday the show was busier than ever.  I delivered two presentations each day before excellent crowds.  My “Fly Casting 101” was Saturday during primetime and I had a blast showing everyone how to cast and ended it with a story and a bow and arrow cast just for fun.

 

flyfishingBetween programs I spent time in the Autograph Booth and signed a few of my Warmwater Books.  Its been fun watching the interest in bass, pickerel, bluegill, carp and more grow over the years.  I also hung in my own booth and decorated several Cliff Fly Boxes.

 

showtimeSundays at shows are generally the slowest of any three day show.  To enhance a slow Sunday this weekend, Mother Nature dumped about a foot of snow in the area.  The storm began around 11 pm Saturday and by showtime Sunday morning the roads were an absolute junk show.  While there were some hardcore New England attendees, you could say we were snowed out.

 

Once we feel the roads here are clear of snow and ice Granny and I will point the Ruby Van north and head back to NH.  I have several art projects to work on and also have plenty of preparation to do for The Denver Fly Fishing Show that takes place January 19-21.  I should mention, Granny and I will be flying to the show so we won’t have heaps of my fish coffee mugs and beer steins.  If you plan to pick one up make our booth your first stop.  I also won’t be able to bring Cliff Fly Boxes so pick up your own and bring it to the show.  Backpacks welcome as well!

I started fly fishing at age 7 in the lakes and ponds of New England cutting my teeth on various sunfish, bass, crappie and stocked trout. I went to Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, where I graduated with a Naturalist Degree while I discovered new fishing opportunities for pike, muskellunge, walleyes and various salmonids found in Lake Superior and its tributaries.

From there I headed west to work a few years in the Yellowstone region to simply work as much as most people fish and fish as much as most people work. I did just that, only it lasted over 20 years working at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson, WY where I departed in 2009. Now it’s time to work for "The Man", working for myself that is.

I pursue my love to paint fish, lecture on every aspect of fly fishing you can imagine and host a few trips to some of the most exotic places you can think of. My ultimate goal is to catch as many species of fish on fly possible from freshwater to saltwater, throughout the world. I presently have taken over 440 species from over 60 countries!
