    Thanks for the info. I have known these people for 20 years. They are locals and don't advertise. They have done other work for us, just never a pond.

    Fly Fishing Thread .....

    Wow, this is a great thread. I have been fly fishing for over 50 years. My Dad, who is 81 years old, has been into flyflishing for 60 years.
