The inaugural Alabama Fishing Show and Expo is set for Friday through Sunday at The Venue at Coosa Landing. Hugh Stump, executive director of Greater Gadsden Area Tourism, said in a news release that the organizers are the same ones who stage the East Tennessee Fishing Show and Expo, which draws upward of 35,000 visitors to the Knoxville Expo Center each February. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate>Stump said Gadsden officials have attended that show for years with presentations about bass fishing, Neely Henry Lake and trout fishing at Noccalula Falls. “Once The Venue was open,” he said, “we started talking with the show promoter about the possibility of bringing a show and expo to Gadsden.” The new event will feature vendors from across the United States, displaying products of interest to anglers. They’ll include bass and pontoon boats, clothing, custom lures, fishing rods and tackles, kayaks, marine electronics and various fishing accessories.
