OTHER: Fished with, or more accurately, guided Karyn, her boyfriend Frank, and Kay. It was windy, and the temperature was falling. Frank had never fly fished, but caught a small rainbow early on. Karyn and Kay arrived later, and Karyn caught several fish. She is a natural fly fisher. Kay also caught several fish. I managed to catch my first GRAND SLAM ever, and had a nice cutthroat along the way, as well as a few other fish. All in all, I caught about ten fish. After an hour or so, we had the river to ourselves—something rare on Thanksgiving Day. It was great to be back on the river after so long an absence
