NCCTU - The Aftermath

As fly fishing shows go, you have to be happy with the NCCTU venue and process, George Gaines and his crew do a great job on that show.  The Georgetown Prep location has easy access and set-up, nice open venue, and of course, is inside from the weather.  With food service and a lot of good company, it is a great show!  We saw a lot of our old friends and also met a lot of new customers.  It was a record sales day for us, as we continue to sell more and more each year at these shows.  Thanks for coming by to see us and for those that didn't pull the trigger on that purchase at the show, we hope to see you on our website soon!

Rapidan TU Show - The Aftermath

The 2012 Rapidan TU Chapter annual show was OUTSTANDING!  The new venue, which was a little off the beaten path, was still quite comfortable and accessable.  Our POS system requires the INTERNET so we were dependent on Eastern Trophy Fly Shop's 4-G Hot Spot to maintain linkage, along with connectivity to our credit card processing system.  Thanks Bill!  The crowd was heavy and constant up till about 2 PM, when I could finally sit down and relax for a few minutes.  Fred and his crew did a great job setting up and handling the show (as they always do).  I like this show and have been attending as a vendor or a vistor for over 10 years!  We made lots of new friends and visited with old friends as well.  This show will be a annual stop for Fly Fishing Benefactors!
