The last outfitter float I witnessed out West was really embarrassing. I was fishing with another very experienced angler and our guide was very good. He was loving it. But we were part of a 6 boat party and 4 boats had inexperienced anglers in them. Those guides put balloons on extremely long, heavily weighted leaders with multiple nymphs and heavy rods and had them just lower them over the side of the drift boat. On this 3-day "fly fishing trip," NO attempt was ever made to teach these "anglers" to cast. In fact, ZERO education took place at all. So...yeah...that was pretty easy.
