Larry, I have fished water that would have taken many days to figure
out (including my home waters) if it wasn't for a guide (or friend) to
show me the ropes. I have taken several friends to the Rapid. Some
wanted to be on their own and when they would see me and other folks
in our small group catching fish, they would eventually ask
how/what/where. There are little secrets to just about every stream I
encounter and any help I can get or give is always appreciated.
