Crowley Lake University Update We had a full house with 61 attendees and the feedback has been gratifying. We video recorded the whole 8 hours and are in the process of producing a completely re-edited (video of a movie on a screen is poor quality so we are starting with original slides and video) set of four DVD's so those of you who missed the presentation. I will post it on the fish report when they are ready to ship and you can call the shop to order. The cost will be $39.95 for the 4-DVD set. |
You will catch more fish, more consistanly on Crowley!
These topics and more will be covered . . .
