    Default Natchitoches Fishing Festival


    FYI, the second annual fishing exposition will be held in the Prather Coliseum at NSU in Natchitoches on Saturday 3 May. There will be lots of vendors, exhibitions, and fishing programs. While much of the event is centered around fly fishing, I believe there will be two programs on crappie fishing. It's free (Unless you buy something from a vendor - or one of my books!), and lasts from 0830 to 1700. And I will be giving a program on creek fishing right after lunch. So y'all come! Last year was really good, considering it was the first shot at it, and this year promises to be better!

    Thanks! Your blurb was much better than mine - should be appealing to the crappie.com folks! Looking forward to meeting you.

    I won't be able to make it this year but encourage everyone to go who can. It's a very good exposition. Last year they even had kayaks you could try out in Chaplain Lake.
