You should bring your big net so you can catch the prizes I'm throwing out from the stage at Noon. ;)

UPDATE!

Live presentations are almost finalized. I can tell you that Nick Basok will be doing a presentation on Vedder River Winter Steelhead Fishery. He'll be joined by Dean Worrall from the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery who will be providing info on the hatchery steelhead program.

Jordan Oelrich from Interior Fly Fishing Co. in Kamloops will be doing a 30 minute presentation on stillwater fly fishing.

Fred Helmer will be doing a presentation on Fraser River sturgeon.

I and my co-host Kitty in the videos will be doing an interactive presentation that will be geared toward the younger audience and their parents. Our sponsors have given us lots of prizes to give away so we'll most likely be doing a fish ID game so hopefully everyone can go home with something. :) We'll also be drawing names (everyone who comes to the event will be entered) for some bigger prizes including a two night winter package at Tunkwa Lake Resort, a Moby Net, etc.

I hope all of you will be able to make it. :)

Maybe get Old Yale Brewing involved as they partnered up with Brendan Morrison of Reel West Coast fishing show and invented the Head Shaker Honey Lager beer. They had a cool event last summer of which Fred Helmer was involved with. Just a thought. Cheers

Perhaps next year. I'm not really hurting financially for this event, we have had enough fundings from this website, our sponsors to put it together (in total it costs about $7k to run it). Not sure how a local beer company could fit into a family event, but I'm always willing to explore ideas.

We'll be giving away two Moby Kamloops Trophy nets at the show this year! One will have the rubber mesh bag while the other one has the soft mesh bag. The draw will be done just after Noon so everyone who comes to the show before that will be entered in it.

I will have table at the All About Fishing event. My kids will be there selling all manner of used tackle.
We have all kinds of jigs and lures for discount prices. I will also be selling some other tackle as i am doing a big clean up of all my tackle this week.
I may have a few rod and reel combos as well.

Many of the jigs and lures i'll be selling are ones that we manufactured that didnt make the cut esthetically but are often the ones I use personally as they catch fish just as well as the ones that make the grade.

Our quality control ladies just may be a little too picky :) , but that will be a good deal for those at the show.

I will be there tying jigs and talking fishing, so also pop by to see me if you have any questions.

Awesome Rod!

Another update. We'll be giving away a bunch of Stanley vacuum mugs, Islander Reel T shirts, Gloomis hats in the draw as well on March 9th.

The draws will be done at Noon and 2pm. Come on out to do some steelhead fishing in the morning then stop by the event afterward!

We are up to 18 tables for the used tackle sale now. If you would still like to reserve a table, please contact me ASAP because this week is going to be very busy for me to get everything organized for the event. I'd like to have all the tables confirmed by mid week.

I'll be there at my table with a wide variety of fishing equipment. I was asked by someone who will be coming from Steveston if their dog can come inside the facility. I told her I would ask, although my initial answer was probablyno. Any thoughts?
