God I wish I could have been there! I had to take a couple of bait fisherman to the Missouri. They one “employees of the month” here at the ranch and their reward was a guided fishing trip with me. It would not have been that bad if they would have had even just a little interest if fly fishing. I wouldn’t let them bring their spin cast stuff on my boat because I really didn’t want a treble hook in the side of my face. It was a very long day and all I could think was I should be fishing with Clint and Mending machine!
Glad to here it was worth the drive for you. One of these days we may actually hook up!
