And they'll all stay busy. The Charlotte Show has shaped up beyond our wildest dreams. It's going to dwarf the 2004 event, which was already the largest rod building event ever held.

My feeling is that a lot of the folks doing the fly rod trips to Alaska and other far flung destinations as well as those selling pre-made flies are going to feel some pressure to improve
