Went to the Edison show for the first time ever this year. First fly fishing show ever actually. Drove 4-1/2 hrs through the storm. Stayed for two days, spent a bunch of money, went to a seminar. watched some casting demo's, talked with some great people. It was nice to be able to actually cast some different rods, try some different lines. Overall I had a blast. It was great to get out the damn house. I thought the setup with the guest fly tiers was great.

Good Stuff!! I'm gonna be down in port A in the spring. I'm planning on packing a rod. Hope to get a day to explore a bit. Did the guide thing last time. Caught one little dink. I would rather do my own thing and get skunked than pay a few hundred to get skunked.

I just got my hands on a nice two person drafting table with drawers down the middle. I got it for free and thought it might make a nice tying setup. The top is 40” high. my question is, do any of you tie on anything high like this ? My current table is 29” high. I’m thinking a taller, comfy swivel chair might do the trick. I haven’t been on much since the early spring, but with the days getting shorter it will be tying season once again soon.
