Notes

Hello Bighorn! What a way to start the season...sun, then snow, then sun, then snow...BLOWING! cold! trippy (but knowledgeable) guide. Could hardly cast. (me, that is, not the guide!) Caught or put line down on troy and/or his line a couple times (sorry Troy). But who can complain? 2nd drift boat trip ever and at least this time the guide didn't lose an oar on rapids...no my-life-is-flashing-before-my-eyes-moments...but that's another story. Pulled 4 mid-size bows out...i think. too excited, couldn't pay attention. or was i just hypothermic? ha. flies? number of fish? huh? just happy to be out there. enough for a newbie like me. for now, anyway...
