I know it's April Fools day, but I'm not joking lol

Muskies Canada Inc., Kawartha Chapter will be there and we will be doing something special for the children this year.

Along with education for the adults, the kids can learn how to build their own fishing lure called a "Go Getter".... This is a small inline spinner bait with small worm hook, and when they are done making it (choose their own colour of beads and blade) they get to keep it. Kind of a fun way to get them interested.

 

Hope to see a lot of folks out for this inaugural event.

Parking and admission are free, JP DeRose and Big Jim McLaughlin will be there. Why not go? Help them get this thing off the ground.

They haven't posted an exhibitor list yet, but I know for sure Mike Parker will be there with his Handlebarz Musky Lures to take some money off my hands.

I'll be there tying go getters with Tom on Saturday.

Yes I live 20mins away and just heard about it the other day !! They should advertise it a little better I guess and seeing how it's the first time being held would be great to see all the fishing related vendors from the area plus get the word out about their product !!! I will def stop in and check it out as I do plan on getting my boat from storage next weekend but I'm sure I can find a few hours to check it out !!!!

If it wasn't a 2 hour drive I'd be there for sure. I hope this show gains the interest needed to have it run for years.

Just heard about it on the radio this morning. Last minute Lindsay! They have tried various types of fishing or sportsman shows over the years and none have continued. Hopefully this one is different. I should find time to stop into the show.

Good little show I thought. Lots of fishing tackle on display. Bought a ticket on the tractor. Talked to the fly fishing guys, may take up a new hobby this year. Got some good bear skinning tips from the taxidermist.
