2011 IFTD Show is Coming To New Orleans..Sorry Colorado Folks It's Moved!!

They're Baaaaack

It's that time of year again, yes to get out on the water and chase some late afternoon hatches, as well as chase a few drunks down at the annual IFTD Show! We had a blast last year's 2010 IFTD Show in Denver and the year before, and the year before etc... but this year is different. It's down in Cajun country and I don't think many will complain about heading down south for a little fun, a great show and some Southern Hospitality!
