Portland Sportsman’s Show

[Rob Allen]

Just a word of warning. Parking is mostly as PIR in the grass(mud) and it will be a soupy mess by the weekend I highly recommend either parking early at the expo center itself or only go with a 4wd and good tires. 2wd you WILL get stuck.
There is next to no fly fishing at the show.
Lots of boats, trucks,and campers and tons of salmon, steelhead and saltwater vendors.
Spent 20 minutes talking to Randy Newberg that was cool. The show was pretty fun just to walk around. I don't want to discourage people from going, just to get people to be prepared for mud.

Haven't been in 10 years or more, it's always the same old stuff. Better off going to a fly specific show. Too bad Albany is on a weekend, my only day off is Monday, I can never go to these things.

PTO, Sick, or Vacation days…
If that don’t work, have an eye problem…and just can’t see yourself coming in today.

I'm not schizophrenic yet, but it might cause the wife some concerns if she sees me asking myself for the day off

No mud and scored some really good deals.
Lot's to see, definitely allow yourself plenty of time
