3FL2 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 Hello Everyone, Well I guess I will begin with the EXPO. I recently attended the Somerset, NJ Fly Fishing EXPO, I spent alot of money that should have gone to other things....The show was The best I've been to. Knowlegable friendly vendors eager to take your money...I spotted HATCHES Mag a total of like 4 times in various booths. Keough is one that remember. I met some classy guys From Hush fly, There stuff was great, and they let us hang with them all day-Shout out to hush fly..Nice job. Check them out at www.hushflyfishing.com. I picked up a March brown 4 wt travel rod, Sharkskin fly line..99 bucks but it's worth it, Fly tying supplies from Shu-Fly, J STOCKARD WAS TRUELY MISSED AT THIS EXPO!!! I WISH YOU GUYS WERE THERE... . Overall I wish there were more shows that i could go to and network with some of the best people in the business. On to tying... I have officialy kicked off the "Tie your box before April 1st contest". My fly fishing buddy and I have to tie our flies to fill our boxes before April 1st opening Day for trout in Ny or else the other guy gets the other guys flies!! I tied some brown hackle peacock, BWO, And a different Muddler Minnow White deer hair.. Pics will be posted soon. I was able to spin deer hair for the first time with ease, And I'm impressed with the spun white deer hair. Ok that's my report. On to tying!~ -Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 28, 2008 Good to hear that Hatches made an appearance. Nick texted me Saturday morning letting me know he was sold out of what he had so I hope Bill and the other dealers didn't have to bring any home as well. I'll be there next year hopefully...

flygirl 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 I was there on Fri & was seeing Hatches mag too......I thought I was bad about carrying a long list of things to buy until I saw one guy carrying a clip board with about 2 pages of tying things he needed.....for a minute I thought he was taking inventory . I'm still disappointed with the boothes that sell mag. subscriptions....they will not part with a single mag unless you buy a subscription....I remember years ago when they would almost be throwing them at everybody just so you could read their mags.
