"Each year we are amazed how much the Kentuckiana Fly Fishing Show grows and impacts those in our sporting community," says Kenneth Kloeppel, show chairman for 2010. "We are very excited to be hosting the 5th Annual Kentuckiana Fly Fishing Show and hope to spread the fly fishing fever to many new people in our community. We have geared up some great educational seminars to appeal to adults and youth, and novice to experienced fisherman. I want to really encourage parents and all adults to bring their kids and teenagers and introduce them to a sport they can enjoy for the rest of their lives. The future of the sport lies in the hands of our youth and it is time we get them out from behind the video games, and on the water to experience nature and what it has to offer."
