Bellevue, Wa. Fly Fishing Show?

[bajadan2000]

Just starting to get interested in fly fishing, and have plans to saltwater flyfish this next season.

So... is the Fly Fishing Show in Bellevue, Wa. (Feb 10, 11 & 12) worth going to or is there a similiar show in the Portland area?

Thanks for your help, I am new to the flyfishers forum. The only story I can tell you about flyfishing are the times I have been kayaking and stopped to have lunch and watched fly fishermen. I really admire the artistry of it. It combines so many eliments into one fine sport. Hope to join your ranks as an amatuer soon.

All the big fly fishing companies are at the Bellevue show instead of the upcoming Portland show. There are some local shops like ifish sponsor River City that will be there but most major fly fishing equipment manufacturers will be at the Bellevue show.
