mic Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 March 11 Tri-Lakes Fly Fishing Expo—Clinton, MO Orvis reported this in their winter circuit schedule. Anyone been to this before. It seems like a weird location and I was wondering if it is worth my gas money to drive from St. Louis.

I have been to several of them. The place in Clinton is way better than the other venue where it was held before. More room. If you would like to sit down and watch some pretty good tyers and ask questions, it is a good time. There are also venders there with hooks and materials to be had at good show prices. Lots of fly-fishing equipment. Open bidding on things and tickets to purchase for bucket drawings. We will probably go again. Ongoing fly-fishing programs all day to attend. nomolites and tjm 2 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

They had outgrown that place.

kjackson Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 I was there last year and likely will be there again. I was surprised by the number of exhibitors and that most of them were from out of the area. However, it was a pretty good venue with lots of space.

tjm Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Was there last year with oldest son and he wants to go again this year. It was more than I expected, and tyers came from farther away than I expected.
