George Daniel's casting demo, The Fly FIshing Show Atlanta 2018

Caught the tail end of George Daniel's casting demo. You know it's serious when the presenter kicks off his shoes and gets in the casting pond!!!

Tenkara USA, The Fly Fishing Show Atlanta 2018

If you remember the Suburban Angler Giveaway last year, the folks from Tenkara USA were kind enough to donate one of their rod packages. So glad that today I had the opportunity to thank Daniel in person! Their podcast released an episode last night all about Tenkara fishing for panfish with @panfish_on_the_fly! I'll be listening to that on the drive back to Florida!!

Dave Whitlock, The Fly Fishing Show Atlanta 2018

Sitting in on a fly tying presentation from one of my favorite fly tyers, authors and wildlife artists, Dave Whitlock. He's explaining his 3 Emerger System while tying the 3 caddis emerger patterns he likes to use.

Alpine Leisure Co., The Fly Fishing Show Atlanta 2018

Picked up a cool new reel pouch from @alpineleisureco. I tend to prefer anything with a belt loop and these reel pouches double as a rod holder when on the water. Check them out, lots of neat stuff!

Just watched a demonstration of the NorVise rotary fly tying system by Tim and Tyler O'Neill. Really a unique tying system that I hope to try soon!
