Hooked on Toys in Wenatchee is the place to be this coming weekend. The Berkley Experience Trailer is coming to town and this is a very big deal. I remember what it was like last year, and it's the biggest "happening" for anglers the whole season. It's not easy to get this trailer and staff to come to small markets like Wenatchee, but last year's visit was so successful they were happy to come back.

It's not just that there is so much product available at super prices, which there will be, it's a great chance to learn from some real pros on how to use these products. Experts on everything from rods and reels to lines and baits will be there to show videos and do demonstrations for three days.

I know I learned a lot. Sure I bought some stuff, too, but what I remember is what I learned from a couple of the staff people in the big tent. I will be there most of all the three days and hope you can stop by and tell me a fish story or two. I'll be hanging around the Bob Feil Boats, near the Jetcraft I am driving this year.
