I heard two comments over and over last year:
1. Surprise at the consistent quality of the games; and
2. Only one person said they could not get into a game they wanted to play.
Great tables, Great Figures, Great access to games -- consistently so. How many conventions can say that?
As for Coeur d'Alene in October.
1. Hunting season is in full swing in Idaho and Montana
2. Fishing: This is when you catch those really big lake trout. Lake Coeur d'Alene and Sand Pointe' Lake Pend Oreille (world class fishing) are a short drive away.
"Fishing charters are available throughout the season to fish for Pend Oreille's legendary rainbow and lake trout. The huge lake was first stocked with lake trout in 1925 and with Kamloops rainbow trout (known also as Gerrard rainbows) from British Columbia's Kootenay Lake in 1941. Accelerated growth of all Lake Pend Oreille trout can be attributed to their plentiful food base, kokanee – a land-locked sockeye salmon subspecies. How big do Lake Pend Oreille's trout get? The world record rainbow trout, 37 pounds, was taken from the lake in 1947. A world record 32-pound bull trout (referred to at the time as a Dolly Varden) was taken from Pend Oreille in 1949. And a 43-pound lake trout was recorded in 1994."
