Back from the Edison Fly Fishing Show, and CFFA Show this weekend

What a fantastic show! This past weekend in Edison, I reconnected with old friends, made some new ones, bought some stuff I really needed (no, really!), walked the floors, took in some tying demos and bits of seminars, lead a couple seminars, taught two classes, and had about as much fun fly fishing as you can without actually being on the river. I’ll be giving you a more detailed report later this week — in the meantime, here I am converting the masses to the ancient and traditional art of the wet fly.

A tremendous start to Edison 2024! It’s always gratifying to speak to a larger audience, and the size of the crowd that came to see me present my seminar “Modern Wet Fly Strategies” at 10:15am Friday morning was a wonderful sight to behold. Thanks so much if you took the time to see me, and kudos to you for looking to expand your knowledge base. Fly fishing show seminars are included in the price of your ticket, and are the perfect way to see experts and discover new methods, tactics, and strategies. Photo by Landon Mayer.

Speaking of shows, this Saturday, Feb. 3, is the “best little fly fishing show around.” Yes, it’s the CFFA Show, 9am-3pm, at Nomads in South Windsor. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend, but there will be other tyers and speakers and the usual assortment of vendors. I’ll see you there next year. In the meantime, you can make sure you don’t miss any of my appearances by following currentseams or following me on Instagram @stevecultonflyfishing. See you out and about or on the river.

Mark your calendars for The Fly Fishing Show in January 2024!

I know, I know, it’s July. It’s hot and the sun is shining and even though your favorite river may be blown out, we’re all still thinking about — if not actually doing — fly fishing. Since it’s never too early to plan, mark your calendars for the 2024 Fly Fishing Show in Marlborough and Edison. Note the new time frame for Marlborough — it’s earlier in the month than usual. I don’t have a schedule yet, but assume I’ll be doing talks and classes and demos as usual. I’ll likely be in Marlborough all three days and in Edison Friday & Saturday. Hope to see you there!
