A Glimpse Inside Sportfiskemässan

Recently Christian Hörgren emailed a few iPhone images of his fly fishing gear favorites which were on display at the Sweden fly fishing fair Sportfiskemässan

Mad Fly Reel Scientist...Maybe?

During the fair we had a small exhibition of my fly reel collection, and I also did some fiberglass rod building on site. The interest was very high, both from old nostalgic guys and young hipsters looking for a twist on their fly fishing lifestyle. 

We also spread the word on the upcoming Scandinavian Glass & Tenkara Clave, that will be held here in Sweden in mid June.  I'm very pleased to announce that a few of our Finnish Fiberglass Flyrodders forum friends will join us with their fabulous collection of full flexing fly rods."






Christian...quite a collection and neat to see so much of it all organized together in this impressive display.

Howard...I've posted up a few of pieces of Christian's fly rods and reels collection. I'm so glad that he doesn't have his own blog. HA...
