Lloyd Lynch, of Dayton, Ohio, is a lifetime deer and turkey hunter who annually hunts in three or four and sometimes five states. One year he harvested nine turkeys across five states. From the mounts on his living room wall, he has done a lifetime’s worth of trophy hunting homework.

“I joined the club in its second year because I didn’t know anything about it the first year,” said Ab Reed. “That was 1978, and I’ve fished the club every year since then.”

Temperatures during Ohio’s 2026 National Fishing Expo hovered on both sides of zero the entire three days of the event. A 12-inch snowfall in Columbus also compounded the brutal temperatures.
Despite the extreme conditions in the great outdoors, the “great indoors” of the National Fishing Expo provided a temporary, but much needed escape, for anglers fighting the Buckeye State’s worst outbreak of cabin fever since we’ve had fevers in cabins.
