QUICK COMMENT - We are back up in California and will be attending the Fly Tackle Retailers Exposition in Salt Lake City, Sept. 6-8. We will be introducing the latest book, The No Nonsense Guide to Fly Fishing Magdalena Bay at the show. We always look forward to the show and seeing old fly-fishing friends. For those of you that know me, if I am not fishing I am on the computer and I just got a new blow-your-doors-off laptop that will allow me to do some really trick presentations at the upcoming shows. I can now do mixed media presentations with video, stills and music all in the same program. Should be almost as good as a snook take at Magdalena Bay. http://www.bajafly.com/weeklycatch.html MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO Sat., Sept. 01, 2001 Temperatures: 84-degree high; low 73.
