Tom & Everyone:
Please pass this along to Alan and Angus if you can....
Many thanks for everything this past weekend. The fly fishing school was superb, much better than I expected. The pleasure of Alan and Angus' company was surpassed only by their knowledge and enthusiasm of this great sport. I feel like I have learned from the very best. I probably have.
I'll be back up as soon as possible to get back into the river......thanks again for everything. This was a great experience.
