Western Canadian Fly Fishing Exposition report

Made it home safely after the Western Canadian Fly Fishing Exposition and I have to say it is nice to have everything back to normal here in Whistler. The Calgary show was great though attendance seemed a little bit down from previous years. Even still the single hand and speycasting demos were well attended as were the various seminars taking place over the weekend. Here is a photo Pat snapped from my speycasting demo on Saturday morning trying to make the most out of the new improved larger casting pond that show organizers added this year.

The Whistler Flyfishing booth stayed busy throughout the weekend with Whistler Flyfishing Steelhead guides Pat Beahen and Scott Baker working hard to keep things in order. Local celebrity and Loop tackle pro staff member Maxwell Robinson spent the whole weekend in the booth showing off the new Loop gear and talking shop.Here is the Whistler Flyfishing booth crew.

Scott Baker somehow managed the win in the casting contest and attracted the attention of the local media for an impromptu photo shoot

All in all it was a great show and we all look forward to doing it again next year.

Here is the Western Canadian Fly Fishing Exposition day 1 report

Here is a quick report from the Western Canda Fly Fishing Exposition:

the first day of the show is now history. With great lighting and a nice wooden floor, the venue at Spruce Meadows is perfect for the show. Attendance was pretty good with a nice mix of old fiends and new faces. The Whistler Flyfishing booth stayed busy for most of the day. Many folks seemed to like our Whistler Flyfishing Logowear and it was nice to see such a huge interest in Loop speyrods as well as the new Amundson Wind Warrior chronomid sticks.As it turned out we were so busy that none of us bothered to take any photos. Actually that's not entirely true, Pat Beahen snapped the following two pictures. In the first one show organizer Chris Bird is showing me the new advertising program with Broken Tippet, a new flyfishing magazine. The next photo shows Scott Baker casting in the Wright and Mcgill flycasting contest. Scott qualified 4th in the contest while some other guy from Whistler fluked out and qualified first. Finals are on Sunday and Wright and Mcgill are donating a fly rod package worth $1000 to the contest winner.
