OTHER: Fished with Ken. Kay and I met Ken and Sharon in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas this past February; they are from northwest Arkansas. Ken is new to fly fishing and I offered to show him the ropes on the Norfork River. We worked on casting, line control, and drag-free drifts. This was only Ken’s second trip ever fly fishing, and he did quite well, catching a few fish, and hooking up to several others. The water unexpected came up and we had to hurriedly leave after only a couple of hours.
