Thanks for the great show and for having us. Sean Hansen Fishing Manager Orvis Chicago

This weekend is Orvis' grand re-opening party. Today Jay Anglin of Anglin Outdoors will be giving a presentation from 2-3 plus others throughout the day and free refreshments. I know this is short notice but hopefully we'll see a few of you there.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Planning on being at the early show so hopefully I will get to meet you all there.

John, I would like to have a table and tie with TimA and represent Orvis Chicago.

Just wanted so say a quick hello and tell you all a bit about myself. My name is Sean Hansen and I am the Fishing Manager at the Orvis Store in Downtown Chicago. Getting in touch with ISA is long overdue and I apologize for that. I've been fishing for as long as I can remember and fly fishing for roughly 18-19 years now. I hail from the east coast but have lived in WI the vast majority of my life. While persueing my degree in Fisheries Biology I worked for the Fly Fishers up in Milwaukee which is where my guiding and fly tying career got started as well. After college I spent two seasons guiding for trout in Missoula Montana. During the off season I returned to the midwest and guided part time for everything WI ha to offer from trout to Musky. I am also a fly designer for Rainy's Fly Company, the call us "Fly Innovators". If there are any fly fishing related questions don't be afraid to ask me or TimA which has been a member here for a long time. Tim brought to my attention there is a cast and compare this weekend. I can't make it as I will be holding a class up in WI but Tim will be there with a number of rods to cast. Sean
