January ,February, March
It's that time of year again, Show Season. These will be the shows I'll be attending in 2026. Starting off in January it's The Fly Fishing Show in Edison,NJ. This is the biggest of the biggest fly fishing shows on the east coast. Vendors and fly tiers from all over the country and out of the country will be in the building.The show will start on January 23rd and run until January 25th. If you're looking for fly tying material, booking a guided trip or getting up close and personal with your favorite fly tier this is the show you'll want to attend.
Next will be the Cabin Fever Show in Cranberry,PA just outside of Pittsburgh, PA on February 22nd. This show is put on by the Penn's Woods West Chapter of Trout Unlimited. This is one of the biggest shows put on by a TU Chapter in Pennsylvania. There are lots of vendors and fly tiers from around Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. This show is unbelievably well attended by fly anglers from all over.
The next show will be The Fly Fishing Show in Lancaster,PA on March 14th and 15th. This show is very well represented by some of the best fly tiers,fly shops and conservation groups in Pennsylvania. Also in the building are many more vendors in the fly fishing industry. This show is a smaller version of the Edison,NJ show. It's a great show to showcase what Pennsylvania has to offer anglers.
Then on March 21st it will be The Maryland Fly Fishing & Collectibles Tackle Show in Towson,MD. Another great small show with fly tiers and vendors from Maryland and Pennsylvania and also a number of collectibles tackle dealers. This show has been growing in attendance over the last couple of years. It's a good show to check out to see what Maryland and Pennsylvania has to offer and if you're looking for some vintage tackle you'll find it here.
Moving into the summer months when the fly fishing shows are pretty much done for the year. There have been two shows that have emerged and have been welcomed by anglers. Early in August (date TBA) is The Hook,Line & Harmony Fly Fishing Festival in Clearville,PA. This show was introduced in 2025 and was very well attended by a number of fly anglers from Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. Surprisingly for a new fly fishing show in the summer months the participation among vendors and angler attendance was really good. Come and check this one out.
The last show of the season is in late August (date TBA) The Keystone Classic Fly Fishing Festival in Tipton,PA. This is another new show that was started a few years ago and is getting attention from angles in and out of Pennsylvania. This is another small show to check out during those dog days of summer.

New for Trout Season 2026
In 2025 Wet Fly Waterguides & Sky Blue Outfitters teamed up to put together some All Inclusive Guide Trips on the Little Juniata River and the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River. These guide trips were very well received by the anglers that we guided. These trips include your lodging,guiding,and food. We have secured a very nice Airbnb in the area for our anglers. Trips will be mostly wading on both rivers and if flows are acceptable we will offer a float on the Frankstown Branch. For more information and details on these trips. Click onto the New Page.
