ISE San Mateo, January 10th thru 13th, 08

Wednesday, January 16, 2008

I had the opportunity to tie at the ISE San Mateo Show January 10th, 11th and 12th. Tying with incredible fly tyers like these, I always leave energized with desire and creativity. We were out on the main floor this year, (new), and felt like more a part of the show.

But it is a shame this show is becoming so small. It is obvious that the fly tying and fly fishing shops that have been regulars for so many years have been priced out of attending. I have always purchased most of my general materials for the year at this show. Unfotunately, this year, there were no materials to be found.

Below are some of the truly great tiers that participated this year. (Yes, Dan actually tied some flys.)

There were several others I was not able to get pictures of; Steve Potter, Jack Dennis, Bill Blackstone, Dorothy Zinky, etc.
