tjm Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 I'd not be surprised if we had spoken at such an event and not known to whom we spoke. Screen names on forums don't come to mind in a brief conversation. We have no recognition hand shakes,secret signs or identifying colors to make us easy to spot. I just wandered around talking to the tyers, son wanted to see a couple of the presentations. One guy tied a fly without a vise, interesting to watch, but not something I intend to learn.

You could sleep in the back of Doug's truck and pilfer through all his fly boxes he has stashed in there. mic 1 "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!"

kjackson Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 I'm thinking of wearing a beanie, so if you see a tall, old guy wearing a hat with a propellor on it... In another thought, this would be an excellent time for someone who wanted to pick up the bow-mount trolling motor I have way back of the sale/transfer subforum, the expo would be an ideal time to do it. Or if you could take it to someone who needs it...I really would like to see it go to a good home. I probably should go through my rods as well. Saving the $30+ shipping would pay for someone's gas.

I was only there once for a few minutes, just to pick up my “guide”, but it seemed like it had a whole lot going on in a tight space.
