New Stuff For Flyfishing?

New stuff...not too much. Is it fun to be around a pile of folks that drive the business? Yes.

Good attendance is what Scumliner and I saw today at a show that was reported to be soft. Yes, there are less vendors here in Denver, but is that such a bad thing? No.

It is similar to the seasons that most rivers, shops, and manufacturers endure as time progresses. Had there become too much stuff? Too many gadgets, widgets, nick-knacks, guides, outfitters, shops, etc, etc, etc? Maybe. Is it time for a thinning of the herd? Are there folks jumping out of windows because of the damn economy...not here...we are fishing folks...the fish don't care about any of that shit. A culling and restructuring of the industry? Who knows, I'm just postulating.

There is a positive vibe at the Fly Fishing Retailer show...as there always must be. It is fishing for crying out loud. We are all happy and vying for the future. Just like casting at a big brown. Next cast is the one, next cast...I will get him.

As in life and as in fishing...keep casting and good things will happen.

We really cannot say too much about new products until after the show...and we will of course let you know. Are there new things happening at Headhunters? Only time will tell...
