Chasing *that* fish over the usual Salmon River bottom?? Wow. Is
Melinda's shop still open?

Melinda's shop is indeed still open and apparently doing just fine. In fact,
on the first day Dave P. discovered his ancient, well-creased waders were
springing multiple unfixable leaks and picked up a new pair of Dan Bailey's
for fairly cheap money (discontinued model) there, and I replaced a rotting
pair of gaitors as well.

She's also a willing and eager co-conspirator: Paul and I pulled our favorite
prank and told her that Dave was keeping all the steelies he caught, upon
which she gave him a haranguing while threatening him with a rod tube. Poor
bastid didn't know wtf was happening. Great fun! :-)
