It
was a real pleasure meeting you and Alice.
You
have a first rate operation there.
We
were especially impressed with the extras thrown in to make the
experience even better: sandwiches, soft drinks, fish cleaning (while
we relax and have dinner), and the pictures Alice took and put on
CD for us. Otherwise I wouldn't have any good pictures of my fish...that
Ryan!
Anyway, thanks again for everything you did to make it our best
fishing trip so far.
See you next time,
Doug,
Roylene and Ryan Dorius Perry, Utah, USA
