Well the 2008 Fly Fishing Retailer show is already over.  Boy, it went by fast!  We had a great show with our Wright & McGill line of products. More to come on that later.

My favorite event of this year’s show was our first ever Writer Event tied into the fly show. We had 8 writers take us up on our invitation for a day of fishing on a “secret” lake high up in the Rockies. The weather was perfect and the trout willing, but not too easy, giving people like our friend Ronell with Fishing Tackle Retailer a challenge. The day started with a quick trip up into the South Park area, an even quicker breakfast and straight into the waders for a shot at some trophy Rainbows and feisty Brook trout. Everyone caught at least a few fish and realized that even a short hike at 10,000 feet can be a bit of a challenge if you are not ready for it.

We had a great lunch and some fun times getting to know each other along with a short product demo by Al Noraker and a lot more fishing all crammed into one day.

Thanks to everyone for coming and checking out the newest hot items from W&M. Lucie Petrickova from Angling International wins the prize for distance traveled to hang out with us- all the way from the UK.
