A good number of families with children and youth of all ages came out over the weekend. One of the volunteers from Fly Fish Calgary figured that more than 200 children took a turn at the tying tables.

WCFF Expo Day 2

Michelle, Owner/Operator, Bow River Shuttles, explaining how a shuttle service operates.

Another busy day at the Expo. Very good traffic, from the opening at 10 am, right through to past mid-afternoon.

Got to meet several new boat owners who want to get set up for shuttle service. That's always a good thing!

WCFF Expo Day 1

Michelle, owner/operator Bow River Shuttles, chatting with an Expo visitor.

It was a busy first day at the Expo. Traffic was steady from the time the doors opened at noon until well past mid-afternoon.

It was wonderful to meet quite a number of my shuttle clients who stopped by my booth.

Ticket sales for my Back Cast Fly Fishing Film Festival went well. We have only about two dozen left!
