OTHER: I fished with Ginger and Ron. We all caught fish, and Ginger and Ron both did real well. Ginger's first fish was a 17-inch brown, and she played it marvelously. She continued to pick up fish, generally 14 to 15 inches long, with a final cutthroat about 16 inches. Ron caught lots of fish downstream, near Ace in the Hole, and went 5 straight one time. Most of his fish were in the 14 to 15-inch class. It was really warm, and the wind was heavy. Fish seemed to bite when the wind subsided.
