where were you guys? Haven't been to the show for a few years and I was suprised at the low attendance. What's up... :confused:

We were all at the shop on Saturday (except James, who is in a tent,in the rain, on the Olympic Penninsula, looking for Steelhead.....we think.) Then on Sunday most of us were with family. We haven't attended for a few years now. I wish there was just one S.E. show so that everyone involved in the sport could come together, instead of being at one place or the other, or nowhere at all because of the situation. -Rob

We need you guys to come out. I'm afraid this Show won't last much longer without the support of the local shops. Plus, it'd be great for business.

We missed you all at the Show. Hopefully, we'll see y'all next year.

True, I was camped out on the Olympic Peninsula and I did find some steelhead.

The show, I heard through the grapevine, was a little slow. Who knows what next year has in store ;-)

I did, Steve. It was a great trip despite the lower than normal water conditions.

James, something just occured to me. Do you have a thing about camping in the rain? Remember NEG Clave the first year we were at Unicoi? ;)

Ivan, yes, it was spey heaven. I busted my Sage 14 footer while I was two miles in and had to walk back to the car for the 12'9" 9wt. The short rod worked great on the Hoh River; I'm getting some of those new Skagit lines from Rio...ahhh. Hooked about 6, touched three. All fresh fish and wicked hot.

Yep Steve, what a downpour up at Unicoi. I think everybody got wet!
