Kevin We actually use an 8wt to a 10wt here. I've never seen A River Runs Through It. Now I have something to do this winter. A Perfect Storm actually fits this area a little better. That town's not far up the road. If you haven't seen it put it on your list for winter activities. That may have some good quotes in it for you Jimmy. Jimmy have a wonderful trip. April did I understand you right? Are you going hunting? I sure wish I had some of those Steelhead here.
