Help a fellow flyfisher

Walter & Group......

Bryan Nims (as many of you know) is one of our members.  He is Tom White's nephew.  This message came in to me from him, yesterday:-

 

Guys,   I'm thinking you may be able to help one of my students.   A delightful couple, Bob and Merle Holland received casting lessons from me about a year ago.  They were excited and looking forward to their upcoming 2nd trip to Alaska to fish for silvers at Hidden Cove in September.   Unfortunately, Merle experienced a bleeding brain aneurysm recently, has just come out of a coma and needless to say, they will not be able to travel.  The following email from Bob outlines the trip and, a  weblink to the camp is    http://www.flyfishingtravel.com/alaska/hidden.html

He has paid for the trip in advance and is willing to sacrifice $1900 if someone is interested in buying.  Someone could end up with a pretty nice trip here and Bob would be grateful to recoup as much as possible.    I would appreciate any ideas you may have to help him find a buyer.  I have copied  Bob on this message so anyone can contact him directly.  

Thanks in advance for you help!

Bryan

After gaining permission, I'm posting this to see if any of you (now 160 members, strong) would like to help out and, at the same time, take advantage of a most generous offer.

This is an exceptional area to experience the very best fly fishing Alaska has to offer.  It was booked through the FLY SHOP at Redding, Ca., a very reliable outfit with many years of first class performance.

Since we are about to be hit by a hurricane (rain bands already and winds of 48mph..... center of the storm only 88 miles to our South and coming for a direct hit.)   best reply to Bryan or directly to Bob Holland. 

We may be cut off from power and cable for an undetermined time.  Even cell phone towers fail during these storms.
