THANKS!!!

I am absolutely thrillled with the prizes!!! Every single one of them will be used fully!

Soon, I will have a new fly rod and reel that I will be very proud of, and a case to carry it in! I promise to take pictures of the first trout I nab on my combo, so stay tuned! And I look forward to framing the posters and putting them on the walls of my soon-to-be-built fishing room! (I'm building a new house for us this spring) I will eventually post pictures of it, too.

My internet provider is having some serious email server issues today, so if you have sent me email and I have not responded, PLEASE don't think it is me. I am going to try and contact you to see if I can get through. If I cannot, I will try again on Monday.

Again, thank you!

Tony,
From the skuttlebutt, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy and dedicated fisherman. I hope you enjoy the items we donated to this idea, and I am certain you will make good use of and enjoy further projects in rodbuilding.

I understand you might be into some harsher fishing conditions and will hope you make good use of the corrosion resistant and durable titanium carbide framed guide set, which you can let me know and will try and help match to the blank you might want to put these on.

We'll get these out to you as soon as we can.

Richard's Rod & Reel

Rich,

Thank you very much! From the list posted, I will use ALL of the items! I feel like a kid in a candy store! I've been eyeing those Titanium guides for awhile, and I am thrilled to be getting some. They will go on my finest rod!

I want all the details, so when my stupid provider's mail server comes back online, I will be sending you email, unless you have a phone number and it's OK to call. Let me know.

Thanks again!

PS- How many posters are there in the prize? I will soon have both a dedicated fishing room, and a study of my own, and I think those posters are great!

Richard,

Before you give Tony your phone number make sure you are sitting in a nice comfortable chair and have a cold brew within easy reach as you're in for a nice long chat (and his web page has the pictures of the stripers to prove the stories!).

Is Tony one happy guy -ohh yeah.
