I was there from about 1:00 PM to closing 7:00 PM, on Friday for most of the show.
I joined Fish-ninja. He left after few hours.
Very disappointing. Many people were either not there or rented a smaller booth.
Case and point; Cedros Outdoor Adventures. Very basic setup.
However, I found a new (for me) lodge in Alaska that I may try. Fish-ninja saw it first and told me about it.
Turnner's booth was the same size, but most of the area was empty!
I did not buy anything except pricy lunch. These days, I don't seem to need anything with regards to fishing.
Even CCA did not have a booth outside to enroll members and give them free entrance ticket.
Being a senior citizen, the ticket was $15.00 vs $20.00.
The best part was to see friends there that I see on the yearly basis.
My first time at FHS as a volunteer was in 2006, where I met the PFIC group in person after months of posting on PFIC.
