Fly Fishing Show 2010
Bill Sunderland and I spent last Friday and Saturday at the Fly Fishing Show in Pleasanton. It was smaller than last years show, as most of the major rod companies failed to appear, but over all, the show was good. It’s always fun to see everyone again and reminisce about old times and the past years fishing exploits. It is also fun to make new friends and to talk about going new places.

Bill spent both days signing his well received new book “FLY FISHING THE SIERRA NEVADA” at the California Fly Shop booth along with Captain Mike Costello signing his new book “FLY FISHING THE CALIFORNIA DELTA”. I have a proprietary interest in Bill’s book because I tied the flies that were featured in it and both Pat and I appear in his chapter on the North Yuba! Mike’s book shows you how to fish the Delta, the kinds of fish available and the flies and tackle needed. I will do a full review later.

I spent a lot of time talking to people who are familiar with Alaska fly fishing. Pat and I will be in Alaska fishing the Copper and Gibraltar rivers in July. The trip has a double purpose in that, not only are we going to fish, but we are going to fulfill Pat’s dream of getting a chance to fish with the bears.
