OTHER: I fished with Kay; we were guided by Ed in a drift boat. We had a great trip, caught lots of fish, mostly browns. All fish were caught on midge emergers with strike indicator, but no weight. Ed was an incredible guide, and put Kay and me on lots of fish. He seemed to know where every fish lay, and what cast was necessary to drift a fly to the fish. I learned a lot about different kinds of mends for different water conditions, and Kay learned a lot as well. Ed and I seemed to be in a zone, and he would put me into position to cast, would call the cast, and I would catch the fish. I used practically every kind of cast I know. It was a great day. Ed would rank as our favorite guide, but only slightly above Boomer.
