OTHER: I fished with Ed.  The river was still falling when we walked in at Mill Dam Eddy, but we waded across, walked up the island, and began fishing the riffle above the island.  Ed was into fish immediately.  He seemed to constantly be hooking up, playing, and releasing fish.  He ended the day with 35 fish, using some 9 different patterns.  I didn’t catch near as many, but did have lots of fun, particularly with the pink cockleburr.
