Yesterday, Keith Fair (Wirebender here on FAOL) & I drove 100+ miles to Columbus, OH to Mad River Outfitters. I had been there once before with Mike Murgida & we got to the store about 10-15 minutes before closing...we were there an hour AFTER closing & NEVER felt rushed! In fact, I mentioned several times that we should leave & we were told there was absolutely no hurry. THAT friendly atmosphere is why I felt it was worth the somewhat lengthy drive. Second trip was no disappointment. Keith & I were not only treated very well, but got some good natured "ribbing" as well. MY kind of place! I bought a tying dvd & an Orvis Battenkill barstock reel with backing for my Sage rod I won here. I will post when the rod is received. Should be early next week as it was to be shipped on Monday,10/10 (UPS Ground, I think)
