Notes

Day 2 of Yellowstone Trip
Met up at shop with Ivan at Blue Ribbon Flies.
Put in at Warm Springs, floated to Lyons (?).
Our first ever drift trip and loved it! Lisa took the front and I had the back. Love the ease of fishing this way.
Sadly, Lisa out-fished me ~ 6:1. The front is definitely the place to be. Threw a stonefly/rubber leg with a small dropper. Caught a lot of fish. Great scenery, easy fishing.
Ivan as a guide was a C+ to B-. Friendly but not as focused on us as clients. Seemed bored.
