Good guides are the ones who go above and beyond the trip to make the outing a pleasure and this guy seems to fall into the category.

Hopefully my response, and actions that day, caused a moment of pause and reflective thought - I for sure thought about my answer, not wanting to be divisive but educate and provide a local, real-world example on my home water. A real opportunity. Derek Younghttp://www.flyfishtheyakima.comnoreply@blogger.com
