Afghanistan

[Murdoc]

I had a great experiance late last summer. I got an email from a couple guys in Afghanistan. They were contracters that were overthere working. They said that back in the mid 70's that they had stocked a lot of the streams with trout and they wanted to give it a shot! They requested everything including flys!! I didn't have a clue what to send them for flys. We got everything worked out except the flys. I had him go to BassPro web site and pick something out. I got everything together and got it shipped on a Thursday afternoon. On Monday I got a email and before I read it thought: He's already looking for them!!! Not the case. They had already made it!!!!! It took THREE DAYS to get there!!! Think about it!!! From Mt Vernon Missouri to Afghanistan in three days!!! I've find a picture and attach it later and they are going to send more. It's NOT Roaring River but it's really Roaring!!!!!!!

Very cool. I would be very interested in seeing those pics of the streams.

Spreading trout around the world, good for them.

I kind of doubt it took just 3 days, When I was sent over it took 2 days travel time to set foot in kuwait from texas. then it took many more days before a mil. transport could go on into Our base.

DLM: I see by your post count you are relatively new. I haven't had the pleasure yet so let me welcome you to the boards and thank you for your service.

Murdoc: That is really cool and not to put any pressure on anybody or anything like that but I am with buzz, I wanna see some pics. With all of the radical crap that goes on over there wouldn't it be something if that place turned into a shangrilah for trout (don't think it will ever become one for trout fishermen, just trout)

Thanks DLM84 for serving but if you don't have something nice to say stay off the OAF. I don't take kindly to someone calling me a liar. You weren't a part of this transaction stay out of it.

I'm looking for the pictures that they sent me. It probley wouldn't be a place to plan a fishing adventure any time soon.
