Murf, thanks for the note. Gila river would be a blast, but I'm not sure I can fit it in. Allan Fish set me up with Alan Di Somma, who will take me fishing Sunday, April 30. You will need an AZ license, fish stamp and reservation permit, if memory serves. Well, at least I will be carrying some of my rods... =============================== ><(((((º> =============================== | Dr. Henk J.M.
