Now that I am working and we have a really good on gas little car I may have to try and sneak away and get up there.

Maybe try and talk a friend into coming with me to check things out.

Im hoping for a warm chinook around that time too, to possibly play with some fish....

I am working that weekend at the moment, but after looking at the web page I think I am going to have to try to get some days off to attend.

Do it!!
I went last year for first time,spent the full day,probably most enjoyable outdoor trade show I've been to in ages.Took in a cpl clinics,test drove a few new rods on casting pond,met and had a nice chat with April....pleasantly surprised shes not just a pretty face poster girl,actually pretty cool/down to earth chick,I probably wouldn't object at all to spending a wilderness camping/fishn trip with her,lol......duhhhhhhh!!

Looks like I won't be making it up there this year.

I found out last night that we have a hockey tourney that weekend.

I went last year, it was really good and seems like its going to be really good this year! I have known they have lots of new fly fishing related companies and the traditional local fly shops and someone told me about a new fly shop in Calgary but I don't know the name..someone know about it?

I think that some of the out of province presenters have sales on the last day because they don't want to ship all their merchandise back home. I will be there sunday.
