Hello my name is Jim Dines. I currently do not have any rainbows. I
subscribed to this list to try and gain a little knowledge while I
search the local shops for some.
I first saw bows in a local shop 2 years ago but the owner would not
sell any. They were beautiful. I live in northwest Indiana and have been
looking for some since than.
I think many members of list like this one are like me just listening in
hoping to pickup a little knowledge from the experts. I also have found
many good referance sites by following the links.
If anyone is in my area with surplus fish please respond.
