Get a jump on your outdoor adventuring this year by stopping by the show to see what’s new in the world of hunting and fly fishing. The New Brunswick Sportsmen & Fly Fishing Show 2020 will be taking place from Friday, March 27th to Sunday, March 29th. From newcomers to seasoned veterans, there’s sure to be something for everyone at the show. It routinely attracts thousands of visitors and hundreds of exhibitors.

Discover all of the best outdoor gear under one large indoor roof as you browse through the numerous stalls. Exhibitors come to display the latest products and equipment on the market. They will also be putting on demonstrations and will be available to answer any questions you might have, both about their services and about hunting and fishing in general.

Every year, the New Brunswick Sportsmen & Fly Fishing Show has a packed schedule of events, features, and attractions, and this time is no different. When you arrive at the show, the first thing you want to do is enter for a chance to win the door prize. This year’s door prize is a one-night getaway for two at Adair’s Wilderness Lodge in Sussex/Shepody, with fishing at Walton Lake included.

Aside from the exhibitors, a big draw of the show is always the excellent presenters. Presentations will be taking place on the Bass Pro Shops Stage over the course of the weekend. Come by for helpful tips from experienced hunters and anglers for how you can improve your own hunting and fishing game.

Friday will feature a talk by fly fisher Benoit Farcy on the feeding behaviour of the striped bass. On Saturday, Chris White will be teaching the audience about budget-friendly fly patterns and Steve Andrews will be offering tips about tying Atlantic salmon flies. Finally, on Sunday, anglers Deirdre Green and Elaine Gray will be giving a talk about “Women on the River.”
