This "pure" fishing "show" is designed by fishermen for fishermen with the simple goals of promoting and teaching fishing. Now in its 9th year, it has become a "can't miss" annual event for thousands of anglers to attend every year. Between the "Teaching Fishing" component providing attendees with hundreds of hours of "Fishing Education" and the 170 plus Booths of Fishing Exhibitors, this is by far the largest "Fishing" show in New York State and among the largest anywhere in the Great Lakes.

From walleye and bass to salmon and trout; from perch to piers, stream casters to trolling nuts; from fly fishing to youth fishing; from marine electronics to boat rigging; from fishing boats to kayak fishing - this is a "can't miss" event for every angler to attend.

Fishing Education is what the Expo is built around and what makes it unique. The quality and quantity of the classes and speakers is what differentiates this "Teaching Fishing" show from all other shows. Included in the general admission price for each attendee, is the opportunity to become a better angler by choosing from a robust curriculum the seminars that are of most interest to them. Each of these seminars are presented by Expert Anglers who are willing to share their expertise with the angling community.

Separate Curriculums target fishing for Walleye, Bass, Trout, Salmon, and Perch along with Fly Fishing, Kayak Fishing, Open Water Trolling and Marine Electronics. Attendees can choose from a wide range of "Fishing" education depending upon their Angling knowledge. Offerings are available for Inexperienced Anglers right thru to the Tournament level Angler including those specifically for Youth. The average 2023 attendee took the opportunity to attend 7 Seminars while at the Expo.

The Expo consists of many well-known fishing manufacturers, local and regional fishing retailers, local fishing guides and outfitters, the best local fishing boat dealers, kayak fishing watercraft, marine electronics, local fishing clubs and much more. Both large and small-fishing related manufacturers have the opportunity to for one-on-one time showing potential customers their products. These opportunities include having expert Pro Staff deliver Education offerings which include the use of their products to be more successful on the water. This provides attendees the opportunity to learn from the experts and check out the actual products in order to make informed decisions on what will work best for them.

The combination of Manufacturers showing their products, the Education on how to best use them and Retailers selling the products is the best model to create significant sales and satisfied customers who leave the Expo with the items they desire. The average 2023 attendee spent over $220 from Retailers at the Expo.

If you love to fish, you will love this show. It has everything for the fisherman and then some. Whether you are just getting into it or are more experienced and looking to upgrade rods, reels, marine electronics, tackle, boat and motor, kayak, book a charter/guide fishing trip, join a local fishing club, learn to clean and cook your catch or just be around a lot of fishermen who have the same passion for fishing that you do, this show is for you. With plenty of close parking, low priced admission, quality food and drinks at the show along with lodging available at very low off-season rates in Niagara Falls, this is a "can't miss" event to attend. Many attendees attend multiple days of the Expo (check out the discounted full show admission ticket) and take advantage of the Show-discounted hotel rates to enjoy a great "weekend getaway" in Niagara Falls. Over 60 percent of the 2023 attendees attended previously with many of them attending every year. It's a great way to "kick-off" the 2024 fishing season!

On Sunday, a robust Super Kids Fishing Clinic will be available, taught by expert instructors to teach the kids and their parents the skills they need to enjoy the fishing experience.
