Fly Fishing Show
Is anyone thinking about going out to the big show in Lancaster next month? Ive been to it in Denver, I know its the same circuit but I dont know how big it is in PA.

Going over to the Somerset Show at the end of the month. Bigger than Lancaster.

I skipped the fly tying symposium in November, and was considering attending Somerset...not sure if I will or not...might try to do Lancaster instead.

Plan on going to the Somerset show but even though the Lancaster show is only 15 minutes from home - I'll be skipping that one. Much smaller event and in my mind - not worth the $.

He11 no. Waste of time/money. Search for last year's Lancaster show & commentary on this site for a few laughs.

Thanks for the info on this one....i did go back and check out some of the comments from last year. Doesn't really seem worthwhile unless you live nearby.

No, I haven't. I'm not booking any big trips. Not buying the newest gadget. Not interested in watching people tie classic salmon patterns of spin deer hair into mice, so what is there for a guy like me at a show like that? For me, the minor benefits of a huge show like that are not enough to travel that far. Although, that one is huge, and I've heard it's fun. I know enough people working booths at that one that I'd probably have a good time, but it would be drinking beers & having laughs with friends kind of good times more than fishing related.

yeah
i've never bought a thing at the Somerset show
I mainly go to BS, take pictures, and BS some more
If you don't know what the internet is... it would be great
but i don't see any amazing deals other than 4yr old backstock
There are a ton of people and its good to reconnect
but i'm skipping this year to fish

I heard they want to outlaw snaggers, lead and do away with leaders of more than 10 feet. i wonder if vendors are going to boycott?
