Initial Thoughts on IFTD

It's been a few years since I attended this show.  I have some mixed feelings on this year's event.  Overall I think it was a good event for most of the vendors.  Everyone I spoke to said they were having a successful show.  For me the show was lacking some of the excitement of past years and some of the big names in the industry were noticeably absent.  However it was great to meet some fellow bloggers and catch up with some old friends.  The Drake film awards were an absolute blast and I am excited about some of the new products being released in the near future.  Overall I'll call it a success and look for some improvements next summer in the Big Easy.  Hopefully whatever differences exist with this industry can be worked out by then and we can all get back on track.

Look for additional posts on the happenings at the IFTD over the next few days.

I'll be heading out to Denver this afternoon to attend the IFTD (International Fly Tackle Dealer) show.  I looking forward to bringing back the scoop on the latest and greatest in the fly fishing industry.  This is a great show which I have attended several times in the past.  I am excited to have the opportunity to participate in it again.  Look for some interesting posts upon my return.

The Jersey Angler will be heading to Denver for the IFTD

Things finally came together for the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show in Denver this week. I'll be heading out with my good friend Lou from the Fly and Fin blog. We are looking forward to trip and hopefully making some contacts for a new business venture we are planning. Its been a couple years since my last trip to the show so I am looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones.
