Dont forget to fish the St. Regis River while your there! The owner of that fly-shop gave me directions to a decent spot only a couple miles away. Im sure it was his "tell the out-of-staters spot" but I must say, me and a buddy were spot fishing 17" rainbows for a couple hours with golden stones.
Also, theres a logging road that takes you to the St. Joe very near there! Maybe an hour or so away. Worth a look. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Meyers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 6:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: St. Regis Fly Shop Great!
