Anyone who has spent any time fly fishing, whether for trout in the mountains, or for permit on the tropical flats, will tell you that it is not all about catching fish. Planning your fishing trip, travelling to your destination and all of the things that happen along the way are the real adventures and memories of any fishing trip. Around here, wildlife viewing along the river is always a great bonus to our days. Here is a recent shot from the Snake River of a cow moose and her yearling. I've really enjoyed the comments left on the blog so far and all of the emails I have received this summer from prospective clients and people just looking for fishing info. The most recent comment from Chris suggesting that I am becoming "punchy" was great (although I'm not sure what he meant by punchy). The guiding season has actually been flying by very quickly, and in fact feels just the opposite...quite short. Throughout the season, from beginning to end, guides will have anglers that will wonder why they are not successful, yet they have done nothing to prepare for their trip. (i.e. take a casting lesson, etc.). I only commented on it to remind people that guiding is just that. We can row you down the river, feed you lunch, tell stories, listen to stories, tie knots, untangle lines, read water and tell you right where to cast. The rest is up to you. More soon!
