Hi Guys, I have put together this trip for Early Dec 2008, I have 4 people who have committed and need 4-5 more. This is the ultimate way to collect, Felipe takes care of all the arrangements, has all the equipment, you eat great, his guys take care of the fish, you just play in the rivers and enjoy yourself. Interested? e-mail me at fishfarm@mindspring.com.
