Note to Fly Rod Thief: "Read This Book"

During a camping trip to one of Colorado’s Gold Medal trout streams, Jeff McAbee woke to find that someone had stolen his four-piece fly rod. After pulling himself out of despair, he wrote this note to the thief inside his copy of the Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide:
“’To the person who lifted that four piece fly rod from my campsite last night: Here is the rod case. When you break the rod down you should put it in here for protection. I have also included the reel case. The outside is soft and somewhat water resistant and can be used to dry the reel before you stuff it inside. And this book is a pretty good reference for someone interested in learning the quiet sport of fly fishing.’ —Jeff” In the Summit Daily News.
