Lip, this is one of the best shows I have ever seen.  We used to attend when we lived out that way.  Plenty to see and especially the Canadian Outfitters that were always a point of interest for us.  This is where we discovered Hawk Lake Lodge located in Western Ontario.  With out a doubt one of the best fishing lodges we have ever visited.

It's been years since I've been to this one. I also use to go to the All Canada Show ones that had outfitters from all over Canada.

Did anyone attend this show last month?  I wasn't able to go because I had an ice fishing derby that weekend but really hoping to make it next year.  Is it worth going to?

It's been a few years since I've been but the few times I did go it was a fun day.
