That is a shame as the PNW is prime fly fishing area <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />.But- it is not just here- it is all over the US and elsewhere.My $$$ are being spent on quality products like Busse provides <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. They are also USA made and this is something that we all need to support <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I wish I could say that I think it is getting better- but it isn't. Too many want to ride the wagon and not enough to pull <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />.I feel bad for these young folks with families. Many here are having to work two jobs just to make ends meet. I also understand that the cost of collge tuition has just increased a large amount <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. sad part about that is you have kids comimg out of college owing $$$- and no jobs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />. Good Grief.
