This past weekend I attended the annual Tri-Cities Sportsmen’s Show in Pasco, with my boat sponsor Bob Feil Boats and Motors. It reminded me why I look forward to these shows every year. I got to visit with so many people that had so many nice things to say about my weekly column they read there in the NCW Nickel Ads. I had even more folks comment on how much they appreciated the videos that Eric Granstrom and I have done on fishing throughout the region. They have learned a lot about fisheries that they have always wanted to try, and thought that watching the videos really helped them have successful trips. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate comments like these. It makes it all worth while. I also get to see many people that I only see at these shows. It is really fun getting caught up and learning what they are planning for the coming fishing season. This week is the Washington State Sportsmen’s Show in Puyallup and the Seattle Boat Show. There are plenty of things to see and learn at these shows. Go and have fun!
