If you are looking for something to do for the March Break you should consider attending the Toronto Sportsmen Show. You and your family will be treated by acres of hunting, fishing, and outdoor exhibits. Various big events include dog shows, fishing demonstrations, casting pond and outdoor adventure zone. Visit the show’s website for more information and show videos.

I remember as a kid, Dad would take me to the show and we would spend hours in the fishing exhibits picking our NEW secret weapons for our spring fishing trip. There was always great deals on brand name lures and equipment. We would then spend the afternoon watching Bob Izumi in a fishing seminar in one of the many meeting rooms. He would cast into this huge (almost tractor trailer size) portable glass fishing tank with real rainbow trout in it!

This year at the Show, hunters will be able to attend OFAH Wild Turkey Seminars for $35.
