{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Somerset Fly Fishing Show on Saturday

To not break the commercial rule, I'll keep things in broader, non-specific terms.

I thought there were a few less vendors/exhibitors there compared to last year's show, but the ones I wanted to see where there and I got to swing a bunch of flyrods in a relatively close time period to make comparisons in my mind - and really change the direction I thought I was going in (I am looking for a new 5 wt) for the better.  I guess times are still tough for some in the industry (even the vendors that were there this and last year seemed to down size or even share booths - where last year there were some ginormous stands - nothing wrong with being more efficient).

There were also a bunch of new tools on the market that are advertised in internet land - but seeing and handling them at the show helped understand whether it was just hype or if they offer improvements to the way I currently get things done.

Oh and stopping by Cabelas did not hurt either

Is anyone interested in carpooling to the show?  I am currently planning on driving up early on Saturday, spending 6 hours or so doing laps  and returning later that same day.  

The weather forecast is calling for cold, but clear skies (at least for now).

I'd ask to split gas/tolls and yack about flyfishing during the drive in exchange for the ride up and down.

If there are more than 4 (me + 3), I can take my wife's minivan (me + up to 5 comfortably, 6 in the rear seats if you don't mind being cozy or are skinny).
