This show was held at Tinley Park the past 2 years, but has been moved to Schaumburg, Il. -dates have been changed also to January 13 and 14… The list of speakers and tyers can be seen on www.flyfishingshow.com …just click on ‘Schaumberg’. It is a little NW of Chicago. A long drive for me but I will be tying there so if you stop in please identify yourself as a fellow FAOLer. I look forward to meeting more of you…Bob Mead
This is great, not to far from me. Will put it on my calindar for sure. :lol:
I am going too after a long hiatus in attending the show. The last one I went to was at Drury Lane, Oakbrook at least 10 years ago. High points for me back then were presentations by Krey and Whitlock and casting a 9 for 9 Loomis in the Ballroom.
The presentation I do not want to miss is Bob Long Jr. on river SMB. What else looks good?
Catch Oliver Edwards at his tying table when you can. Be sure to stop and say hello. Always fun to put a face with a handle… Bob
Thumbs up!
It was a good show. As invited I got a good chance to view Mamtis’s work. And take in two good speakers.
Aside: I read someone’s complaint that no major Manufacturers were on the exhibitor’s list. The Elkhorn Booth was not real happy to hear this 
There is no such thing as a bad Fly Fishing Show.
