Several years ago on the Bitterroot we pulled over to let a guide fish
through. We could hear the guide telling the clients over and over they
needed to get the bug right on the bank. Just about the time they drifted
parallel to use, the guide reached back, grabbed the clients hand, whipped
the rod back and forth twice, laid it down and immediately set the hook,
while letting go of the guys hand, we could hear him say, "that's what I
mean by getting it on the bug on the bank!" Judging by the look on the guys
face, I don't think he appreciated it much.

That sort of thing happens when jaded guides (agate guides???) spend
too much time with beginning fishermen who can't really do it.
A good guide paired up with a skilled fisherman is fun day for both.
.......back to work now. Nuffathis talking and not fishing :-))))))
