OTHER: I fished with Kay; we were guided by Bill in a drift boat. This was possibly the worst day of fly fishing in my life. Bill was a nice "kid", but didn't have a clue about guiding the Green River. He kept the boat in the middle of the river, never offering an eddy or slow side water to fish. He put Kay and me in the worst casting positions possible. I fished midges with weight and strike indicator, including a small pheasant tail midge that worked pretty well. I did manage a half dozen or so fish in the hour before noon, and Kay had one fish, but that was it for the day. Section B is not as pretty as Section A, but still a great piece of river. We won't fish with "Bill" again!
