Here's an Xyzabc story I wrote in 1989, the year after the big fires in '88. Was published in Dick Stewart's Fly Tier in June '90.
Most of the real place names (Stash Creek, Looking Glass Plateau, Ruby Creek etc) were made up names, in order to make pin-point place identification more difficult for the average reader. I guided a Pennsylvania man and his wife that June, on DePuy's Spring Creek, during the start of that season's PMD hatch. During lunch he started talking about the excellent Yellowstone article he'd just read in Fly Tier. He 'bout fell out of his canvas folding chair when I told him I was the author.
