Al,

I had an absolute blast. I was not too keen on the float tube but my previous trips with you have been so successful that I wanted to heed your advice. I'm so glad that I did! I loved being able to exploit the conditions: using the wind no matter the direction, not worrying about my backcast and reaching any fish on the pond. I cannot wait to fish with you again.

Thank you also for the flies that you gave me, it was very nice of you to do that.

Tight lines,

Maria
