OTHER: Fished with Wayne and Bill. Bill and I began fishing our way upstream towards the island below McClellan’s, making long casts, and catching fish. Of course, we trailed Wayne by a long shot, but we were both catching lots of fish, so didn’t hurry. Consequently, we never reached our intended destination.
Bill is one heck of a fine gentleman, and an extraordinary fly fisher. Fishing with Bill and Wayne is pretty intimidating as Wayne is undoubtedly the most productive fisher to have ever fished the Norfork, and Bill is very close behind him. Along with Ed and Frank, these guys are in a class by themselves. I can add Rod, Mel, John, and Mike to the list, having been blessed to fish with the very best! Life is good.
