Reminder that the Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Sports Show starts tomorrow just in time for more snow.

Spent the day at the Fly Fishing Show. The show was about the same as last year in term of vendors. I was excited to finally get some hackle from Collins Hackle Farm today. He does not have a website but I have the info about his stuff here. I highly recommend his hackle.

I also stopped by to see a friend of mine from Maine, Kevin McKay. He was working the Scott Fly Rod booth. He’s a master Maine Guide and He runs http://maineflyfish.com/ and http://mainefishingadventures.com/.

Now that we are into Steelhead Season, my new Scott A3 Fly Rod and Ross Reel combo came this week. Because of the nasty weather out this week, I have not had a chance to try out my new gear but I’m looking forward to it. I’ve used Orvis rods and reels over the years and I’m excited to add a different vendor into my collection. I suggest you take a look at Scott Fly Rods and Ross Reels. They are both made in the US. Also, I purchased them from Eldredge Brothers Fly Shop in Maine. If you are in Maine, specifically the Portland area, check them out.
