Joey won the kids 14 and under casting competition with at cast of 70'. He said he was nervous so he only did a single back cast with the Sage TCX 5wt. His best during practices over the 4 days was 83'. I unfortunately waited till last day/minute to give it a try and I looked like one of those Chinese ribbon dancers. We also had an opportunity to tie flies for 3 days and met many great tiers. My head is in information overload and I'm sure Joeys' is as well. It was an awesome experience for me to be there for the whole show but I'm a little wiped out from being on my feet all day and night. I have a new respect for the vendors and the hard work they put in at the shows.
We did not see too many NCFFBr's but ran across LeeS, Peter, UC, and El Rey and it nice to see you guys. Joey experienced his first taste of high pressure sales as the only 2 shops were competing for our business. I think the economy is hitting our fly shops hard. So if you have a favorite shop and want to keep go spend some money there weather you need to or not.
