If the flies cost $1 each, the box, which had apparently fallen off some tourist's vehicle was worth half a C-note. An angel on my shoulder told me I should run through town shouting, "...did anybody lose their trout flies...". The devil on the other shoulder said, "...finders keepers, losers weepers...".

I have a cabin between Creede and Lake City...I'm pretty sure they must be mine...just went out and checked my fishing vest and I seem to be missing quite a few from start of last season. Don't think I could possibly have lost that many just hanging up in the willows and rocks last year. Probably left a box laying on top of my truck that fell off in Lake City. PM me for my shipping address and keep a couple of parachute adams and elk hair caddis for your trouble. Thanks!!

In retrospect, I think what I should have done is called the NRH police department, and reported I found it, along with the serial number (I've read up a little on Texas Unclaimed Property laws), then locked it in my safe. Unfortunantly, it's too late for that now. I'm now better informed, and better prepared, since things like this happen so often...

It's funny you mentioned that about a Glock. I thought it looked like a Glock 27 (in the holster), and when I slid it out and saw that it wasn't, I thought "OK, guess I may as well turn it in, since it's not a Glock". :) Different strokes for different folks ;)
