towards having his own fishing trips Incidentally his copacker In the packing horses he a doing now la Dave Green from However true to the guiding tradition little bits of misinformation are still being fed to me On the trail one day I heard a bird that sounded much like a Veery and asked Steve the nearest guide for an identification Steve listened intently for a moment then replied That s the

standing give hts boots a good looking over before swimming slowly out Later after had given up I emptied my pockets to see what I had that might spark a bit of interest in a trout Sucker I loaded up my hook with one worm one vitamin A capsule halibut liver oil and a twoinch piece of crochet yarn And contrary to all wed been told the fish were interested I guess they just believe what they were
