SOMERSET UPDATE: ...Like a kid in a candy store. A whole lot of fun to walk around the Fly Fishing Expo in Somerset, NJ. Did some serious investigation into a bluewater 12-weight, saw some cool and innovative products that I'll go into more detail about another time, and went to two lectures. One, Northern Pike on the Fly, by Barry Reynolds, proved excellent. So much so that I bought his book, Mastering Pike on the Fly, and had him autograph it. I also went to a great lecture on catching muskie on the fly, and hope to get the book by that lecturer, Muskie on the Fly, when it comes out. Also took advantage of several deals from fly tyers, including getting a dozen trout flies for eight bucks and a dozen saltwater for 15. Saw master tyer Enrico Puglisi. And bought one more book, Zane Grey on Fishing.
