Hey Dave!

MUCHO Thanks for that great education on float fishing...I think everyone in the room learned something, and a few of us learned 10X over what we knew at the start of the evening.

Went out and bought that new rod today..wound up with a Herzog (Lami), and the Pfleuger Trion. Would have got the new Pfleuger President, but it only comes in the RH model right now. Its one sweet reel, but I am jazzed all the same about the Trion.

Now, if we can just find some fish out in Forks this weekend...:-)

Mike

p.s. Was real sorry to hear about your pooch...I'm sure he's telling all his new buddies up there about how great it was while he was here. BTW, don't worry...... he'll be waiting for you at the pearly gates when you get there.
