Just a heads up, in case anybody's interested. REI in Anchorage is going to be doing an intro to Kayak Fishing presentation April 22 at 6 pm. I'm going to be out of town for it, but I wanted to make sure other people had a chance to go if they're interested.
Cheers,
Jim

Maybe in the Lower 48...  But in Alaska, they would go out of business in a minute if they held to such standards!   8)

I know the original REI store in Seattle used to sell fishing gear- I bought a packrod there when I was in high school.

Well they don't sell any fishing gear anymore and when I asked one of the guys there (this is obviously an unofficial answer) he said he likes to think of rei as a store that doesn't sell any supplies to sports that kill....thats when i lost alot of respect for the place lol....on the other hand he knew alot about kayaking and i am glad he helped me pick out my pfd cause i was about to buy the wrong thing.

Don't let one guy's politics sour you on the whole company, Yessnoo. REI Anchorage not only has folks that fish, but they have some rod holders and such in their kayak section.
Don't let the hippies get you down - come to Alaska; fishing's practically a religion up here!
Besides - if they don't sell supplies to sports that kill, what's with all the bug spray for the campers? And how about the water purification? Shouldn't we just give those Giardias a big hug instead? >:D
