Thanks, Dennis.  I ordered mine from Cabelas.  Didn't even think of Bass Pro Shops.  
We have one in Grapevine, near Ft. Worth.  Could have saved myself some
shipping chgs.  I'm only 110 miles from them.  I'll probably take it down to the 
Guadalupe Tail Race below Canyon Dam, just north of New Braunfels.  Believe it or
not, we have a 12 mile self sustaining rainbow trout population on that stretch of 
water. Stays cold that far down year round.  Canyon lake has hundreds of springs
feeding into it and then it being a "bottom draw" dam also makes the outflow super 
cold.

Cheers,

Jimmy

P.S.  Don't know if you're going, but I won't be at Sow Bug.  Taking my wife, son, his 
wife and our two grandsons trout fishing March 13-19.  Cimarron, NM
