What's new is the top question on everybody's mind. For a start, check out the "Latest" and "Greatest" sections below.

You'll find new experts, topics, and gear giveaways at most of your favorite features: California Sportsmen Theater, Western Bass Demo Tank, Kayak City Kayak Theater, Sporting-Dog Arena, and Fly-Tying How-To Center. Plus, the Adventure Theater has the best lineup of new and favorite topics we can remember!

And this expo is jammed with gear makers galore, plus lodges and guides from nearby, Alaska, Canada, Mexico and Africa.

Plus more big-ticket stuff! More fishing boats from all the area's dealers, each with its own "boat show" deal! Plus, more RVs than last year, including an entire building (C).

If your looking for tackle, Fisherman's Warehouse giant tackle store will be loaded with more deals than ever before! 

And bring your children to the free Youth Fair, now in Building D and open from 3pm on Friday through the weekend. Please say "thank you" to our hosts: Golden Empire Scouting, California Department Fish and Wildlife, California State Parks, and Safari Club International. Of course, the free catch-and-release fishing pond is back, with an amazing selection of fish from California Pond Stocking and Management.
