OTHER: Fished with Ron and Mellisa; it was Mellisa's first time to successfully fly fish. After a brief casting lesson, and some disscussion about drag-free drifts, she caught a rainbow on the T-worm , and missed a couple of others. Ron caught 3 fish on the gray scud. I fished very briefly, about 15 minutes, and caught 3 fish on the gray scud. Fishing was very difficult, it was windy and cold, and we fished less than an hour and a half.
