i hate drift boat flyfishing for trout. it just aint natural. it's a
hurried tourism, not fishing, on a trout stream.




three

main things I remember about drift boat fishing on Madison
My wife says---they ought to give you bigger napkins with this streamside
sandwich
the guide says--the Japanise and the Italians are really tipping big this
season
standing in the flyshop at end of day waiting for guide to declare how much
you owe for flies you' all used
other drifts I remember for better or worse

I remember--freezing to death on drift during Jackson Hole clave in Gink
boat---roasting todeath on some river during rock Creek clave--going
downstream on Madison with Jeff Miller and Bruiser when we were out of beer

this weekend i'm floating around in a boat with Jeff in a prehistoric
black swamp up by greenville N.C. hoping the shad have arrived so better
get off and start packing
