Whether angling has a big presence or not the thing is that at least the idea of that sort of show lives on, and that's a good thing IMHO.
Personally I think the future of angling at shows lies in its own event - if it works for fly tying it can work for angling as a whole.
We'll see. I have a cunning plan but neither the time, contacts or money to make it happen.
It was ever thus
