Mornin' Folks!
Here's more unedited, uncaptioned photos from IFTD. Today is the last day of the show, so I should have a few more photos tomorrow and I'll caption them all this weekend!
Tight Lines!

The Abel booth was packed full the entire week of the show. I was able to get close enough to take a couple pictures of one display case. I really liked the heft of these line nippers though, and you have to love Abel's different anodizing patterns. |

One of Abel's beautiful reels that was on that display. I love the way these trout patterns look on their reels. |

Yakima had this sweet little trailer on display at the show. I think even my little car could tow it, instead of strapping the kayak to the roof! I wonder if I'd get any more respect at the boat launch? |

This and the next few photos were taken at the L.L. Bean Media Luncheon that I was invited to. I've had a nostalgic affection for L.L. Bean for most of my life and it's gotten stronger as I've gone deeper down the rabbit whole that is fly fishing. I must say, though, that I was a bit disappointed at the luncheon. I really liked some of the new products that Beans had on display, but I was sad to see that every one of them was made in China. It doesn't matter to most people, but it does matter to me and I try not to purchase Chinese items when I can help it. These were all nice items that appeared to be constructed with quality in mind, so just let that guide your opinions of them. |

The Fishpond booth had some really nice looking products on display. I tend to use a lumber pack when fishing, so I was really attracted to this one that's actually designed for fishing! |

This, quite obviously, is a terrible picture of some folks at the casting pond. Not sure why I kept it in here. |

One of my favorite booths at the show, Finn Utility out of Vermont. Hand crafted, heirloom quality, traditional fly fishing accessories. I really need to place an order, but I can't narrow down my wish list! |
