Winter is the time for fishing flea markets, correct?
Mostly, that’s true for our area.
However, there is a notable exception. The Free State Fly Fishers are holding their annual “Swap Meet” on Saturday, 7 May at their Clubhouse, 3789 Queen Anne Bridge Rd., Davidsonville, Maryland from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Lest you think only fly fishing-related items will be available for sale, let me remind you that FSFF members are anglers first and foremost. They use spinning rods, baitcasters and the same lures, tackle bags and tools that all anglers use. They read the same fishing books. Indeed, there will be many conventional fishing items to choose from at this event.
Tables will be inside the clubhouse and outside. !4 May is our rain date.
Also, if you are interested in fly fishing and don’t want to spend retail prices for a new rod and reel as you explore the sport, this is your opportunity. Fly anglers collect rods and reels like some people collect stamps. The same is true of fly-tying vises and materials. Most of us have more rods, reels and fly-tying items than we need. The annual FSFF Swap Meet is how we “thin the herd” in our closets while providing others an economical entry to our sport.
Here is the link to the event from our website: https://fs-ff.com/index.php/event/05-14-22-swap-meet/
I encourage you to open the two PDF files in the link which include the event flyer and questions and answers about the day. Directions are also included in the link. Note that tables at the event are limited to club members only. Although I am personally involved in organizing participants, I am not making a call for vendors. We have more than enough items for sale already. My purpose in this thread is simply to let you know that there is an opportunity for you to get quality fishing gear at fair prices.
I hope to see you there.
Thank you,
