Also learned to fly cast (only the basic cast, obviously) and watched seminars on the new frog lure and some other stuff. Should have brought some dull knives because a sharpener-seller was offering to show me how well his stuff worked. Also they had big outdoor fishing pond for the little kids. My kids are too big now but lots of little ones there getting their feet wet, so to speak. I just think its like being in a big candy store for fishing and outdoors. And I did the United Angler deal, it's only slightly more than admission and for a good cause.
I'm going again this year even if I don't buy anything.
I heard about you getting that birds nest, they weren't too happy with that from what someone was telling me. You made their product look bad.

I'm not an Avet fan so I thought that was pretty funny.

I love going to walk around and see people from this site and some others that I go on. I always stock up on the UniButter and help out the locals.
