2 This pure fishing show is designed to be an event where attendees can spend a long weekend enjoying and learning about your favorite pastime versus the normal one or two hour walk through shows that many are used to attending. Now in our 5th year, the show continues to grow toward becoming one of the best fishing shows in all of the Great Lakes. With over 200 fishing exhibitor booths and over 3,000 hours of fishing education provided to attendees at our January 2017 show, we are the largest freshwater fishing show in New York State and among the largest fishing shows anywhere in the Great Lakes. The Show Facility the Conference and Event Center Niagara Falls provides a unique blend of a spacious Exhibitor Event Center, multiple additional side rooms and a multitude of conference/seminar rooms all utilizing State of the Art technology. The core of the show is built around providing sport fishing education to all attendees. The core belief of our show is that education is the most important thing we can do to continue to grow the sport of fishing. We believe that by providing a significant amount of education, we will recruit new anglers including the next generation to the sport as well as the knowledge for existing anglers to increase their enjoyment for the time they spend on the water by being more successful. We take great pride in offering a multi-species fishing show with many well-known fishing manufacturers, local and regional fishing retailers, local fishing guides and outfitters, family-friendly fishing trips, discounted tackle, the best local fishing boat dealers, kayak fishing watercraft, marine electronics, local fishing clubs and much more. The show highlights the rich waters of Western New York which offers up to anglers one of the most productive and diversified year round freshwater fisheries on the planet! Seminars and Speakers The quality and quantity of our seminars and speakers is what differentiates our show from the others. Most anglers target multiple different species through a variety of methods over the course of the year. Education offerings are targeted at novice, casual and diehard fishermen and women by some of the best in the business who call the nearby lakes, rivers and streams their home. From bass and walleye to salmon and trout; from perch to piers, stream casters to trolling nuts; from fly fishing to ice fishing there is a little bit if everything for every type of angler and level of expertise. We feel that education is something that is desired by every angler from the most experienced to those novices just starting out. The passing on of fishing knowledge is one of our ways of giving back to the fishery and the area. The highlight of this education is the Western New York Fishing Academy that offers anglers the opportunity to attend over 120 free one-hour seminar classes taught by over 70 qualified instructors. exhibitors Many of the top fishing manufacturers are choosing to attend the Expo to show off their latest products talk one-on-one with the anglers in attendance and provide their experts to deliver some of the seminars. They cover all aspects of cold (salmon and trout) and warm (walleye, bass and perch) water fisheries along with ice fishing - which are of interest to our targeted attendees. Both large and small Fishing related Manufacturers and Retailers have booths at the show. It s a great opportunity for attendees to talk with the experts and check out the actual products in order in order to make informed decision on what will work best for you. It is also a great opportunity to save some money as you stock up for the Fishing season at show special pricing. Whether it s a major purchase like a Boat/Motor/Marine Electronics/Boat Outfitting or smaller purchases like Rods/Reels/ Line or Lures; significant savings can be had at the show.

8 Dan Keating FISHING DEEP FOR TOURNAMENT WINNING KINGS CLINIC Sunday, January 21st 12pm 1:30pm Walleye Trolling Room Free Tickets to the first 100 who sign up at the Magnum Metalz booth #49 Most big water anglers are intimidated by the thought of heading offshore and targeting deep water for trophy kings. But Kings often make horizontal movements out to deep water. Dan Keating has been chartering since 1983 and has pioneered many of the techniques used to catch deep cruising fish. Learn to recognize what seasonal conditions and weather patterns drive kings deep and how to locate deep, open water fish. Success begins by using the right tackle and this seminar we will examine cutting edge high-speed downriggers and the newest weights required to effectively troll deep. While downriggers are the tool of choice for probing the depths, we will look at how to add copper and Torpedoes off side planers. Dan will also teach you practical methods to deploy gear and minimize tangles. Learn which lures, bait and attractors will draw maximum attention and trigger strikes in the dark depths of the water column. Captain Keating will discuss the impact of currents on fish locations and how wave action and subsurface currents impact a deep spread and lure speeds. Dan will also address how to weave multi-species rigs for steelhead and coho into the upper layers of the water column without interfering with your deep king spread. Learning how to locate and target deep kings will turn many slow days into a huge success and you may just win a pile of cash next summer in one of Lake O s tournaments! This Clinic is presented by Magnum Metalz. Those signing up for the clinic on Friday or Saturday at the Show will be given a complimentary re-admission pass to enter the Show on Sunday for the clinic. Ultimate Marine Electronics Clinic Saturday, January 20th 11:30am -1:30 pm $20 Fee Bass Room A ticket is required and can be purchased online thru this site or in person at the Show ticket Booth at the entrance. You can t fish if you aren t fishing where they are! Join Captain Lance Valentine and Captain Dean Cushman of Walleye101.com for an in-depth clinic designed to help Anglers catch more fish by fully utilizing the features / functions available on their Ultimate Marine Electronics Clinic Sonar and GPS units. As the sophistication of these units continue to increase and the prices continue to drop, most serious Anglers have both Sonar and GPS units on their boat. However, Angler education on how to most effectively use them has basically occurred thru word of mouth and trial an error. This two-hour class is targeted to fill this education void and teach Anglers how to make their units the most valuable tool on their fishing boat. Lance and Dean spend thousands of hours on the water each season both using and teaching Sonar/GPS usage and excel at teaching the basics and advanced features of today s sophisticated electronics units. Topics covered include basic unit setup, Sonar Interpretation, Side/Down Scan, Advanced GPS usage, Waypoint management and custom mapping. Even though Captains Lance and Dean are experts in Lowrance HDS units the clinic is taught so that it is relevant for all anglers, no matter what brand units they own or type of fish they fish for. Be sure to bring a notebook!

Matching the Hatch is a phrase often kicked around in the fishing world, the expression comes from the fisherman s attempt to imitate natural insects with artificial imitations in order to fool fish. Fish often ignore all other bait offerings and get lock jaw during major hatches- getting familiar with the bugs, insects, larvae and nymphs that are present in a lake is quite simply a process that is not hard to master, and is a necessary skill for the serious angler. During this class we will examine lake biology, insect hatch timeline, baits and delivery tools and matching the right rod and reel to increase your catch all year long. Scott Brauer is the Brain child behind Makiplastic Bait, an aquatic insect nerd and national award winning educator. He will lead participants through questions from the class and add in lessons from fish including underwater video of how fish react to what we are doing above.
