from city to city, arena

fl y-casting demonstrations,
fl y tiers, seminars, fi lms and
speakers.
According to the show
producer, president and
CEO Ben Furimsky, booth
and exhibitor spaces are
essentially sold out for the
show season. “We have a
few scattered open booths,
but they are few and far
between.” Ben urges any
potential exhibitors to “get
their contracts and booth
requirements returned to
the Fly Fishing Show as soon
as possible.”
The show will pay tribute
to fl y-fi shing’s international
ambassador, the late Lefty
Kreh at each event location.
Lefty died on March 14th
at the age of 93. Ben said,
“Tributes will vary at each
show – some larger, some
smaller – with heartfelt
remembrances by his
colleagues, fl y-fi shing gurus
and fellow authors.”

and other promotional
materials, local and
regional fl y-fi shing clubs are
planning to meet and walk
the show aisles together
while getting their hands on
the latest rods and twirling
fresh-out-of-the-box reels.
International, national
and local conservation
organisations will be on
hand at each site to provide
visitors ample opportunity
to volunteer. Not-for-profi t
conservation groups will be
provided booth space at a

by the Fly Fishing Show.
Ben added, “Waiving the
booth fee is our way of
thanking the guys and gals
who teach fl y-tying and
casting classes, roll rocks,
plant the trees and make the
sport what it is.”
The Fly Fishing Show will pay tribute to the
late Left y Kreh at each venue. Kreh was the
original headline speaker for the Fly Fishing
Show and had worked with it for 30 years.
