I have to agree with everyone's comments. With the wealth of experience that Forum members who attended the show have, it might be worth considering having a Sea Trout Fishing Forum stand at next years fly fair Although, I think there might be a few complaints from others that are exhibiting because if the crack is as good as it was yesterday, none of the visitors will want to go anywhere else Nice to meet you all.

Hi Paul, Thanks for the day out, I thoroughly enjoyed it and was able to meet some of your members, all great lads. Now I can put faces to the names I often see on your forum. At the Fair there was too much to see and too many tyers to absorb but is really was a GREAT Fly Fair. The idea of you having a Sea Trout Forum stand makes good sense, you have some very tallented tyers to call on.Just what I need,more competition!!!!!!!! Keep going lads, you are doing good. Great to meet you all. Sid Knight

A big big thanks to Hoppy and Sian for putting us up and putting up with us for the weekend. Had a great day out at the fair on Saturday and it was good to meet up with everybody. The Sunday grayling trip was the icing on the cake.
Brilliant!!

Saturday was my first, short, visit to the fair which I enjoyed very much. Thanks Hoppy for publicising it. I was pleased to meet some of you and just sorry that my Dad had already claimed I disagreeistance for the afternoon. He now has a waterproof shed and clean gutters. Can't help feeling a bit cheated. Still I managed to buy plenty of goodies and see real experts in action.
