As soon as you start fly fishing you’ll get the urge to gather with other anglers and swap stories!
Trade Shows
Symposiums
Exhibitions
Training
Attending these events will keep you plugged in to the community and, you'll learn something! Don’t be afraid to attend by yourself. It might make you feel more comfortable to email someone first from the website advertising the event. That way at least you’ll know one friendly person and feel like you have someone there waiting on you.
You’ll find that other anglers want to talk about the same thing you do – fishing!
International Fly Tackle Dealer - September 9-11th 2010 Denver Convention Center
One of the coolest events I've attended so far is the Fly Fishing Retailer Show hosted in beautiful Denver Colorado. Also, check out my adventure with the 8 River Rodeo and get ready for the Annual Denver Carp Slam!
