The 2018 International Sportsman's Expo in Sacramento did not disappoint, and though it is not an entirely fly fishing only show, it offers many other products and services from other exhibitors like camping, RVing, and boating. For myself it's a great time. I'm able to reconnect with my friends within the fly fishing industry that I don't get to see too often due to our hectic work schedule through out the year. It's also a real pleasure to able to give back with quality presentations to the masses at large, and educate them on the finer points of fly fishing.
It would be awesome to see more fly fishing guides and companies involved with this show. The numbers may not add up for pure profit, but to show face and to share the passion of fly fishing, is priceless. Thanks to all those in the industry that showed up, without you fly fishing would not be the same. Special thanks to ISE's John Kirk for the invite to speak, and Lance & Kirstin Gray for allowing to help out in their booth. I look forward to the 2019 show - Be there!
