fishboy,

I was teasing about the snubbers.

About flyrods...maybe the best way to get some good used gear is to go to some of the garage sales in your area. I see useable stuff as some of the ones I go to. Or check with neighbors who used to fish... but don't anymore. Most of them are suckers for donating it to youngsters just starting out.

Nimpo and Anahim have lots of fish. Shame you aren't getting to make your trip. It would have been fun. Anahim has a couple of resorts on it that also have camping spots with hookups available. Only thing you'd need is plenty of bug spray as Anahim Lake gets some nasty mosquito hatches on it. Worst two I've ever seen have been up there. One time they were biting.
