You get an early look at all the new rods, reels, gear, clothing, books and DVD’s and a chance to treat yourself to some special show deals. Maybe it’s time for that exotic fly-fishing trip you’ve been thinking about. You’ll find the lodges and booking agents, and be able to attend one of our Destination Theater talks designed to make your own trip decision the best choice for you. If you need to improve on some techniques to make you a better fly fisher, check out our “Classes with the Experts.” They are taught by some of fly fishing’s most respected celebrity teachers and you get a small class setting where face to face exchanges are both an enjoyment and helpful. When you take a class, your show admission is included. Returning and expanding is our “Rocky Mountain Bamboo Revival” section where you’ll see demonstrations, finished rods and Jeff Hatton’s astonishingly historic rod museum display. Cast a $3,000 bamboo rod, no problem. Ask questions and learn this classic part of our sport. Our show has FREE PARKING. Your support has made our show an annual must-attend weekend.
