It used to be an annual event. Every year about this time, I called it “sport show season”. Then the stinkin’ coronavirus came around. So, it has been at least a couple of years, but I am happy to say I will be back at a sport show! Omaha International Boat, Sports and Travel Show I will see if I can remember my social skills. Will spend some time hanging around the booth telling stories, answering questions and talking to …

The months following the first of the year are what I call “sport show season”. Even the folks who like to ice-fish will find some time to visit a sport show or “Expo” or two this time of year. We all like to dream about the open-water fishing and camping to come, maybe make plans to visit one of the hot spots on our “bucket list”, ogle pictures and mounts of big fish and big bucks, and maybe learn a thing …

But, if you want to take a break on Saturday and just talk fishing, stop by and say “Hi”. I will be doing a seminar on the 2016 statewide fishing outlook, and of course I will mention a few things about Harlan County Reservoir in particular. I believe I will be speaking at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 …
