It's good site-ft to load lots of info.
Too much 'country living/RY/lifestyle' BS for me though I gave up on that show years ago and it isn't any better now.
Charge money to park in a farmer's filed, charge money to get in and then offer me a 'deal'.
No Thanks! ::)

Actually there is less country livin at the show, the show has been expanding every year into more info and the newest tackle and boating supplies, heck this year we are planning on having a dollar draw for a brand new spratley boat.
I think it is getting better each year, I will be glad to see all the new stuff again.

Sam, we all know that the show wouldn't be good enough for you as you're not the typical fishing average joe dude. ;D Glad you think the website is ok though, since the webmaster spent hours typing that list up. :P ;)

TNT is right regarding the Country Living Show. You have not been the only one who dislike having a show that is somewhat irrelevant to the other two shows. The organizers have heard the message, and changes are coming. Next year, the country living show will be replaced by a flyfishing show, to go with the existing boat and sportsmen's show and hunting show. :) At least that is the plan. Having all under one roof will be an exciting format to look forward to.

So they forced you to park on a farmer's field last time eh... Most of us had the privlege to park on the paved parking lots. What did you say to the parking lady? ;D

Hey Rod what's going on? I didn't see Fishing With Rod or Outdoor Writers of Canada on the list.

Fishing with Rod does not have a booth, but Chilliwack/Vedder River Cleanup Coalition has one and there will be a youth flytying workshop happening throughout the show at our booth. Some of the members from both FWR and FishBC will be teaching kids how to tie flies. Newsman will be there (time will be announced) to tie up some of his own creation. :) Our booth is located at the Pro Fishing Stage, so drop your kid off to tie some flies while you listen to the pros during the seminars. ;D

Not too sure about Outdoor writers of Canada. Do they have a booth or do they usually just have a meeting there? I was only typing up the list that was given. :)

Seminar schedule and details will be available in about a week or two from now!
