The region’s top dealers displayed the latest models of power boats, pontoons, personal watercraft and marine accessories on the Boat Show side of the event. In the adjacent halls, the spotlight was on the latest fly-fishing, angling, and outdoor equipment for the Sportsmen’s portion. The dual event was a huge hit amongst all outdoor recreation lovers.

            • Live fly-tying from local professionals

            • The casting aisle where visitors could test their aim

            • The seminar stage with presentations from local professionals

            • And more!

Visitors were encouraged to scan the QR code at the door for the chance to win one of four door prizes! Congratulations to this year’s winners:

            • Heidi Carrier who won a Daymak eBike from eDrive Powersports

            • Tim Feetham who won a Sportz Truck Tent from Napier

            • David Kennedy who won a guided striped bass fly fishing trip for 2 courtesy of show ambassador, Alex Swartman

The show would also like to thank its official media partner Strikeback SportFishing and its two show ambassadors: Alex Swartman and Fishing with Damon.

The show is excited to announce it will return in 2025 at a NEW DATE! The next edition of the show will be held April 4-6, 2025.
