I attended. I liked the casual pace, and the size made it so that I feel like I saw everything. However, I miss the magnitude of the Ed Rice International Exposition. I've got more fly gear than I can use, and I enjoy looking at exhibits of things that are strange or exotic to me - like deep sea fishing gear and the big fish they go for, and safaris to far away places, and taimen fishing in Mongolia, and so forth. The sports shows are about as close as I'm likely to ever get to those kinds of places, so it's fun to fish and hunt vicariously.
