James77 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) So the people that manage the Toronto Fishing Show have put together a show in the Kawartha's. April 1-3rd at the Lindsay Exhibition. Apparently there will be the mega tank and a trout pond! Free entrance too. Who's planning on going?

Tom McCutcheon Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenInchJake Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 http://kawarthasportsmenshow.com/ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishindevil Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 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 !!!!

cola050 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited March 27, 2016 by cola050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmer Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 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.

Farmtrapper Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
