A variety of fishing and hunting vendors-exhibitors are coming together at the Crystal Ridge Community Centre in Crystal Beach on Saturday, March 19 from 9am to 3pm.
Retail and education are paramount when developing content for this annual event (17th year). The show attracts both adults and children. ‘
Casting Kids’ (ages 7-14) is presented by the St.Catharines Bassmaster’s. Two rod and reel combos will be awarded for participation. Each child will receive a fishing related product, too.
There will be deals on new and used fishing gear. Melanie Frost, local tournament bass pro, always has new and used fishing gear at prices that most anglers can afford. Lots of plastics and species-specific jigs will be available.
