Pat, have a big smile and know your water. Have a supply of the hot flies if needed and know your clients limitations. A kind instruction on what systems work and how to implement them is always appreciated. What are your clients goals for the day.

The old plan A B C D is always appreciated

I look into... my fly box, and think about all the elements I should consider in choosing the perfect fly: water temperature, what stage of development the bugs are in, what the fish are eating right now. Then I remember what a guide told me: 'Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown and fuzzy and about five-eighths of an inch long.' - Allison Moir.

I wonder if he ever fished Saltwater.
