That was a great story, as a guy about 5 weeks shy of 64 I can tell you mid-60's is too young to be thinking about dying anytime soon. I hope he got his health restored and is looking for a first flyrod.

I was thinking earlier about a flyrod I inherited when a friend moved and didn't have a place to store it anymore. When I finish reworking it and adding an old extra reel I have there is a guy I know who has a couple of neat sons. I think they need something to start with and when it warms up we will try out a float tube with at least the oldest son, probably both.

Jeff, may be the only guy around who saved a life with a flyrod in 2009.
