Those were supposed to be real cannons with touch. Makes me think
I'm coming to this 9wt quest just a little too late.


If the weather is condusive to fishing Fennimore next weekend, I can
drop an 8wt BIIx and an 8wt Sage XP for you to play with on my way
north. I know they're not 9wts but you could get the idea. The Xi2 I
fished with belongs to someone else so can't bring that one.


Thanks, appreciate it, but I wouldn't want to mess up a good
8wt line by dragging it over ice, slush, and hopefully by
this weekend, mud.

I didn't buy a Wisconsin last year, I got Minnesota, Michigan,
North Carolina, Missouri and, of course, Illinois but no
Cheesehead license, so I'm gonna wait until the 2007's go on
sale March 9th before getting a Wisconsin license. Hope the
weather man cooperates for you.
