Wichtrach - Bernhard Fishing Expo

Wichtrach (CH) – Bernhard Fishing Expo
by Stephan Dombaj

Close to Switzerland´s capital Bern some real cool guys meet to complete the flycasting showact at the annual Bernhardt Fishing Expo. Bernhard-Fishing is one of the most impressive shops I have seen so far – one could actually spend a whole week searching thru the rodsection. Quite logical that a whole bunch of people came by to see what was going on there.
