Somerset Wrap Up

Last weekend’s participation at the Fly Fishing Show in Somerset, New Jersey, didn’t disappoint. Not only did we get to visit with our clients from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, but a few clients who have visited Poronui New Zealand, also owned by The Westervelt Company, stopped by as well.

Last week we asked readers to share their favorite places to eat in Somerset. Thanks for the recommendations! We wanted to share our own discovery: 28 BBQ is Portuguese restaurant in Bound Brook, New Jersey, serving steak the size of a platter in traditional brown bag, Iberian fashion.

After the show on Saturday, we enjoyed spending time with some of our clients at a cocktail party we organized with the invaluable assistance of Frontiers, The Ranch at Rock Creek, and representatives from the Ponoi River in Russia. Already you can see the Somerset Fly Fishing Show has quite an international component, and not just where food is concerned!

As the show closed on Sunday, we were able to catch a bit of the NFL playoffs with clients, outfitters, and fellow vendors. It’s hard to believe the Super Bowl is right around the corner, but we’re really proud of the New Orleans Saints for making it all the way.

Once again Somerset proved to be a productive, delightful experience and we wish our clients and new found friends all the luck in the world as we rapidly begin the countdown to fishing season. Come join us on the river!
