PT,
Just read through your life blog and pattern index. Stunning and intriguing would be an understatement. Great story, great flies, great memories for generations to come.
Best Regards,

PT,

Glad to hear your son found the right combo of fly/hatches (with a little help from dad); past 2 years up there I’ve had so-so luck. Thanks for the pics and recipes; love your site.

Regards,
Scott

Thank you Waders and ScottP…Michael has been FF since he was five…and has developed a very good ability to read the water…he is teaching his fiancee, Aimee, how to Fly Fish on this trip…here he is with a nice square tail Brown, just above $3.00 Bridge, a couple of years ago…
