Hello all:
Front Range Anglers has pretty much packed up and moved down to
the Denver Merchandise Mart this weekend to take part in the annual
Fly Fishing Show. If you've never been, it's an excellent opportunity
to see all the latest and greatest in fly fishing gear from many
of the top manufacturers. There's an indoor casting pond so you
can cast some new rods. In addition, there's a huge roster of fly
fishing celebrities who will be at the show to present seminars,
teach classes, perform casting and fly tying demonstrations.
Come on down and check it out! Hope to see you,
Bill
P.S. Please note that our store in Boulder will be closed this
Saturday and Sunday because of the show.
