Friday, Apr. 27, 2007

Saturday, May 5, 2007 will be a great and fun day for anglers, both expert and novice, who attend New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s first ever, "All-Fish Exposition". The Expo will be at Fish and Game’s headquarters at 11 Hazen Drive, Concord and will run from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Admission is free. The day will include free seminars, exhibits and an anglers paradise of boats, professional guides and mucho fishing gear to explore.

"Whether you’re a fishing pro or a novice at fishing, this day will be a great chance to discover the latest techniques and equipment for fishing success," stated Mark Beauchesne, Fish and Game’s advertising and promotion coordinator.


There will be more than 30 exhibitors on hand with displays of just about everything related to fishing. Expo-goers can see some sure-fire fish catching tackle or try casting a new fishing rod. You can check out the hot, new boats rigged for fishing. These include kayaks, canoes, lake trolling boats, bass boats and even pontoon boats. Expo-goers will get "inside" tips for fishing success from Fish and Game’s fisheries biologists, local experts and professional fishing guides. 

Most of the 8 free fishing seminars will be presented again during the day. All seminars will be conducted in the conference rooms at the N.H. Fish and Game headquarters.
