Phil,
I think more than one of us ... OK, a whole bunch of us ... have been snookered at one time or another with our enthusiasm for our sports (fishing and tying).Please give us more information. Know you're from Missouri ... where? You ever fish the State Parks? (may know some of the same people) Where are you stationed? (again, may know some of the same people ... lots of family and friends stationed overseas right now). How much longer will you be there? What materials do you want/need? What will you be fishing for? We always stand ready to help out fellow fishermen/women, but hate when phishermen/women try to take advantage of our sincerity.
