Bruce Mardick with his second tarpon of the day on the FRA's trip to Belize last month.

Hello all,

First off, I want to say congratulations to Doug Monnig of Littleton, who is the winner of the $700 Sage/Ross package on Customer Appreciation Day.

For all of you who expressed sadness and despair for not being able to attend our trip to Belize ... you should be more than sad. It was a good week to be there, resulting in a Grand Slam (tarpon, permit & bonefish all in one day) for me, which made it unforgettable. Click here for more photos of the trip, and stay tuned for news of the next one so you can join us!

DEAL OF THE MONTH: Get 16 flies for the price of 12 when you mention this offer (good until 6/20).

Hope to see you soon --
Bill
