Sportsman show report?

[Giuga10]

In my opinion the show was great. It was my first time going so I can't say how it compares to last year.

There were a lot of giveaways from rods and reels, and lures to stickers and deodorant.

The guys from fish TV were really friendly and I enjoyed their seminar.

I was really happy with the MNR area, they were very friendly, me and my Dad got the chance to talk with one of the officers, we asked anout his job, how he likes it, what it's like, and how I could get into the field. They also showcased their stocking fish, they had Lake Trout, Chinook Salmon, Herring, Musky, Walleye and more. They also gave away some pretty good lures.

The venders were generally good, I stopped by one pro representing Gamma Fishing Line and was the nicest guy at the entire place, I talked to him for about half an hour about his product to fishing in general to him fishing pro tournaments to time he spends camping with his family, he was a great guy.

One vender had an amazing deal. He offered as many soft plastics I could fit in a plastic baggie for $5, I got at least 30 plastics which would have totaled about $50+ if I bought them separately. So I was really pleased with that.

The fly fishing are was great, lots of helpful people, I picked up about 15-20 flies for $0.95 each which was a great deal, there were also lots of fly tying instructors but they were all busy when I was there so I didn't get a chance to tie one.

The boating section was nice too. Lots of boats, more helpful and friendly people and lots of info.... And now my Dad is looking into buying a Skeeter .

The last section was O.K very little motor vehicles mainly just resort booths and activities.

Overall it was a great show!
