Anyone remember this article?

The story was written by Nick Lyons in an article titled, "Experts and
Friends" . In the article, he doesn't mention the name or the place, just
that it was in "some choice club water in the East." The 'expert' caught
not a single fish and at the lodge that evening boasted of catching 32.

I think that even saying you caught exactly 32 fish is bad form, even if
you did catch them.

Actually, it's perfectly acceptable......as long as you snag them.

the boy just WILL NOT learn.

I was told about this story and in the telling, which could be wildly
inaccurate, the person named had the initials ES and recently passed away.

I don't know the authenticity but it has become a bit of joke among some
guides here if they get skunked... when asked how they got on the answer
"32" answers all questions.

What you say is exactly what I was given to understand, but in the story,
the name is not given. At one time I hung at a fly shop with some pretty
knowledgeable guys and "ES" was known among them to be the culprit.

HI Clark
How are you doing??
I dont read this group much but good to see you writing. Is
Colorado Steve still out there?
I went to AK this year for salmon and bows, was a little too easy for
my taste.
I moved to within 3 miles of the Missourri River in MT so now I
mostly
dryfly fish and only in good conditions. Talk about being spoiled! Hope
things are well and hope to get back to NZ one day
