Wow -sorry for your loss,man.

Here's a flyfishing site(Christain FlyFishrs) that has a lot of fly fisherman from the South: http://cff1611.proboards75.com/index.cgi.

Post up the info there;you never can tell.

I once lost a dedicatd caddis flybox on West Canada Creek in NYS.
No name on the box.2 years later I was fishing with a friend from near Syracuse and just casually mentioned it to him over breakfast.

He says:"I know the guy that found it"!!
Sure enough ,next day I had it back in my hands.Go figure.

All it cost me was a few beers...


So don't give up hope
