Evenin' Folks! New for 2017, the folks at The Fly Fishing Shows made a venue change. This year, for the first time, they moved the show from it's Winston-Salem, North Carolina location to Atlanta, Georgia. More specifically, the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth, which is located about 10 minutes from the former The Suburban Angler world headquarters in Suwanee. I say former because, as you know if you follow our social media pages, The Suburban Angler moved to Florida last fall!!! Right before they announced that The Fly Fishing Show would be held in our backyard!! I really hated to miss the show, I attended the last three years at the Winston-Salem venue, but we just weren't able to make the trip back up to Atlanta. Luckily, a fly fishing buddy of mine very graciously offered to take a few photos of the show and even do a couple of live videos on Instagram from the show floor. The videos, unfortunately, are gone forever, as is the nature of Instagram's live video feature, but here are a few of the photos he took for me. Enjoy them, and hopefully I'll make it to Atlanta for the show in 2018!! |
