2026 Swap & Shop Official Thread

I'm so glad to see you all today. I just walked in the door and taking a good quiet time here. At least a was able to sit around all of you and talk. Just worn myself out mentally. A good worn out.

Wish I could've stayed longer. Appreciate all the good talk and fishing stuff. It made me feel good inside around all of you. Even though I still have problems telling you what I mean to tell you. Next year I'll be there for the whole weekend .

Again thanks everyone. I wasn't there long but the longest I've been around a group of people in a long time. Thank you all for dealing with me.

It was great to see you, Jerry!
 
Just finally got everything unloaded at home. Now for chores!

Great seeing everyone again! I think next year we should do everything the same and have family meals for us forum friends, but really try to promote the swap meet part outside of here. Sending everyone out to Facebook, Craigslist, other fly fishing forums in this region, etc. Get some outside folks coming to see the gear.

I ate a lot of calories today 😂

I am so glad I was able to run down for the day! It was truly great getting to put faces to names and visit in person!!

Thank you @Evan B and others for making this happen, looking forward to next year!

Food was great, thanks to all.

I will work on making sure to get more "Bobbers" made up and ready to share. If you use them let me know how they worked out, please.

Thank you so much for the Seegercators and nice handful of flies! I'll report back on them.

A few trout were caught at the windy (no anchor 😉) pond. Not a complete bust.

The laws of physics (conservation of mass in particular) must not apply at the Mayfield Group Campsite. Somehow everyone who attends the swap and shop leaves with more than they brought.

Well, this time there was a sort of lifetime fire sale happening, too. That certainly affected things. It seemed like Jake made some space in his rig.

Always a good hang with you all. A buncha solid fellas.
