Have not done fly fishing for many years. Never fished for trout. Have
a chance to take either a float trip of several miles down a river or
fish a few thousand private feet of "trophy trout" river. Any reason to
take one over the other? Both trips guided. Thanks. Ed

I would think that not having fly fished for years and never for trout...

....after some practice casting in the yard to brush up...or maybe even with
the guide for an hour or two a day or two before you leave,,,,to check your
equipment and such...

....I'd do the river and not the float..

I just feel you would have more time for better discussion with the guide,
strategy planning, being able to stay in one spot while he explained this or
that tactic..it'd be all around better experience to have under your belt...

On the other hand if you are not going to fly fish again you might do better
out of the boat...just hang you fly over the side and let it float with the
boat and pretend you are flyfishing...

john....why is not a fly fisher by the way but has immense fun pretending!
