Great show in Cincinnati – show report

I had a really great time at the Greater Cincinnati Fly Fishing Show on Saturday. I actually love this show! The people have a lot of interest and they come up and want to talk and ask questions. I was very busy, but tried to get some photos. I wish I would have gotten more, but below is what I grabbed. I did go out and grab a couple of photos from some vendors that were there, that I didn’t have time to get a photo of.

Things to note.
CF River Products, who make spectacular nets, had a new product on display. They were hanging lights that were a wooden boat. Beautiful! You can see a photo below of them.

Temple Fork Outfitters had their new packs on display. I was VERY impressed by these packs. The quality was amazing and the price was great too. I took a photo of one of the smaller packs, but there were many others. Trust me, check these babies out! I’ll be getting one myself.

I got to see in up close for the first time, the new rafts by Smith Fly. Wow, these are nice boats. You can see just how well they are built when you see them in person. I wasn’t able to get a good photo of the one they had there, but you can see photos of them at Smith Fly. The photos do not do them justice though.

Mad River Outfitters were at the show as usual. Owner, Brian Flechsig and his staff run a really nice shop. Very friendly and knowledgeable. If you are heading to Ohio or wanting to grab something online, check these guys out!

The North Branch Outing Club was there and represented by head guide, Chris Lessway. I’m up in Michigan a lot and I’m surprised when someone hasn’t heard of the North Branch Outing Club. I’ll do a little better feature on this coming in the future, but Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were a member of this club that began in 1916. These days, the NBOC is a bed & breakfast, guide service, and fly shop that sits right on the Au Sable River in Michigan. I love this place! Be sure to check it out.

I hope you enjoy the photos!
