Steve,

Thank you for restating Mark's point on the review, if his thoughts echo yours I understand where both of you are coming from. I do fully agree it is 100% on me for not refusing the trip as offered based upon prior commitments made during the booking of the trip, because, as you said, I was being nice in accepting the change.

Parenthetically speaking, I'm interested in general as to why nobody had touched on the flies I was charged for but didn't receive (or lose)? I'm not sure how shops do it as the guide service I normally use charges you for X flies before leaving the shop. At the end of the day the guide gives you whatever is left (generally they charge for a dozen and I take home 8-10).
