Mr Morris is a cool dude, if anyone can make it work, he will. Have stayed at the Big Cedar Lodge many times and one early morning I was visiting with one of the gardners. Asked if Mr Morris was there often and said he was, sometimes there at daylight just walking and inspecting the grounds, he had a lot of respect for him. That says a lot about the man.

This was going around last year and the word was that it fell through .

Gift cards for Cabelas are now valid at BP and vice versa. The integration of club points is in process as I was told. You can also return items from either store to either store.

That was a temporary glitch. It's going through.

By the by, I just got back from Cabela's and apparently they are phasing out most of their fly rod lines. I understand they are only going to carry the Prime and CGR series from all their original fly rod lines moving forward with the merger with Basspro. Basspro will also be making fly rods for them moving forward just don't know the name or type. So, Cabela's will have other lines out but the only one staying prior to the merger are the fiberglass series.

So, if anyone is near a Cabela's they are going to continue to mark down/clearance price their own fly rods till gone.

Now, I don't know how accurate this information is, a sales clerk in the fly department was just telling me this as we were making small talk. This, I think, only applies to their Cabela's branded fly rods. They will continue to carry name brand fly rods but not as many of their own labels.

If they continue to bring the prices down I plan to stock up some more. Luck all.
