I am new to the forum, depending on where and when I go fishing this weekend, I am sure that I will head out there and check out the show.

Miller,
I checked your profile and it doesn't say where you're from. Are you local to Spokane? Always looking for someone to fish with.

Ty, I have been considering the Colville R. for a while but still haven't fished it, I just got an 8' pontoon boat that I would love to float it in, I checked the flows and it looks like this rain could have blown it out. I will probably still try and head out somewhere. Joe, yes I am a Spokane native, I just graduated from WSU in December, and I am living here in Spokane until I return to Alaska in late May, like yourself, always looking for fishing partners.

I was there on Thursday and tied flies for a few hours. Seems like there are a lot of guide trips and lodges and fishing locations represented. The cost of these things go up every year and I wonder how that is starting to play out now. With travel cost up, hassles at the border if you are going into Canada and ever more people seeing their jobs go offshore it seems these destinations would see less traffic. I usually have time to talk to a number of the vendors but was pressed for time and didn't get a chance to visit much. Those I did visit I thought were overpriced but maybe I just expect more value for my dollar. $1000 for 3 days at a drive-to lodge seems like a waste to me when I can take my 5th wheel and go fish blue ribbon water in Montana or Idaho at the rate of about $300/$400 for 10 days even with $2 a gallon gas. What happens when you go to one of these places and it is wonderful the first day and the next two days it rains and blows like stink and you can't get on the water? They refund $600 and tell you to come back next year-right? Well......maybe not.
Anyway it was good to get out and talk to some fly fishermen and some guides I know, see some new stuff- buy a few gedunks. The official opening of spring as it were. Enjoy, Ive

My Alaska boss used to get complaints about the weather sometimes.It cost about $6,000.00 for a week there. It would be raining and blowing and the fishing sucked a few days. He would shrug, point Heavenward, and say:
"Hey, I am not in charge of Management, just sales".
