Does anyone know if there will be any rod building dealers or displays at the Charlotte, NC fly fishing show next weekend? Thanks. I thought about driving up although it is a long way without knowing what to expect. Anyone have a number for the show promoters? Re: Charlotte, NC Show

Last year there were several custom rod builders exhibiting at this show. Though I don't remember names at the moment, I specifically remember one gentleman from Virginia and another from Tennessee. Both were very talented bamboo craftsmen. I will contact a neighbor who is one of the presenters and will post a follow-up. Re: Charlotte, NC Show

The phone number is 1-800-420-7582 or 717-243-4641. Web site is www.flyfishingshow.com. There is a schedule and the likes posted at the site. One Virginia builder who's a regular there is Dave Lewis of Performance Rods. He's not a bamboo builder, but he's probably one of the better known of all the full-time pro graphite custom builders, and he's been at it a long time. He's a nice guy. My experience from past shows is that it's not a huge one by any means, but it's a nice break from February. It's also just a skip away from the big Bass Pro Shop just up the road near Concord Mills, which has a great fly shop included. Re: Charlotte, NC Show
