Frank Reid I made the mistake of filling out a card for a "free drawing" from these folks at a flyfishing show a few years ago. Since then, I receive snail mail from them a few times a year. Jo knows to chuck it in the circular file. It's Jurasic fishing. Only the very wealthy need aply. d;o( Dave |

The fly-casting "challenge course" sounds silly as **** but I'm not opposed in principle to private fishing retreats. A nice little cabin located on a stretch of famous water for $440 grand sounds expensive as hell but if four guys chipped in $110 grand apiece ? I mean, that's not way beyond the pale for some of the roffians. Not that I'm interested myself, just sayin' ... -- Ken Fortenberry |

For a week in that place, I could buy a trailer and travel the country for a couple of years, with a fishing license in each state I travel through (except Kansas, ain't gonna fish in Kansas. One must have his standards). Frank Reid |

Frank Reid I've got an old book (40s or 50s vintage, if memory serves)lying about somewhere in the piles, a guide to fishing in all 48 states. Don't remember the particulars or the precise wording, but the author claimed that Indiana enjoyed to poorest fishing in the nation. Wouldn't know myself, but I don't recall anyone ever telling me about plans to go fishing in Indiana......um.....yeah, or Kansas giles |

Your pal, Halfordian Golfer Yo! Good to see you still alive and kickin' - - I hope you and yours are still doing well; you must be empty nesters by now. Back in June I drove an RV past y'all, headed down I25 from Cheyenne. After about a year and a half I finally have a homebuilt wooden boat ready for a water test...which just this morning we decided will be tomorrow. It's been ready since about July 4 but finding the time is another thing. OBROFF of course I will bring my flyrod just in case I see some tailing or rising carp...pics to follow eventually. Jon. |

That is really, really exciting! Congratulations! *Love* to see some pics. Funny timing with the boat. I sold the wooden boat I built and missed it so badly I could cry. Just to get out I bought a cheap canoe. Surprisingly, maybe not too surprisingly, I've found so much joy in that little boat. Almost as if the joy of the thing is that I don't have to care that much about it, if that makes any sense. Been out a few times paddling below the beatle-kill pines in the Routt forest. My near miss with you was during my recent re-reading of "Many Rivers to Cross", MR Montgomery. Indigenous fish where you'd least expect them. Pretty sure you've probably read that or been to the places he describes. Take good care and I'll be looking for the launch report! Your pal, Tim |
