We've compiled a list of the upcoming Winter and Spring 2010 fishing and boating trade shows and expos that are in Maryland (or close by). If you know of a show that should be on this list but is not, please let us know so we can add it.

Fishing shows are a great way to shake the winter doldrums, pick up a few angling tips, check out the latest tackle innovations, and spend some time talking fishing or boating with some great people.
