My sister and her husband who own Nesting Loon Cabins in Lincoln, Maine got quit a shock the second week of Dec. They received a letter from two Russian fishermen who had seen their add in the August 1991 issue of Outside Magazine. They have acknowledged the letter and are going to be sending more info to the two men along with some reels that their guide is fixing up. In the letter the russian said they have great problems with fishing reels and asked if my sister could send one or two inexpensive used reels. They also would like any copies of some U.S.A. fishing magazines.. I told my sister I'd put an entry in here cause it wouldn't hurt, and she said that these fishermen would also like to strike up correspondense(?sp) with other usa fishermen. If anyone out there has any old reels laying around or any old fishing magazines and want to send them to me I'll see my sister gets them or you can send them directly to my sister explaining they are for the russians. Anyone wants more confermation on this email me and I'll send you the copy of the letter that was reprinted in the Lincoln News on Dec 17,1992....thanks Dick gordon Dick Gordon MKO1-2/L10 enet::trlian Nesting Loon Cabins Caribou Pond Lincoln, Maine 04457 attn: Nancy Hustus

Send them an empty thread spool, a paperclip, and a nail. They'll be happy to have it, and they'll put it right to use catching oil-laden suckers. Watched about a hundred Russians fishing for contaminated fish, and not one of them had a reel. They're probably very intrigued by the notion. |
