OTHER: Fished with Wayne and Charlie; thank goodness Bill took a break and left the fish alone for a day or two. He was pretty tough on them these past few days. We walked in while the river was still falling. Wayne and Charlie fished the right descending bank near the bottom of the island while I fished the left descending bank. Charlie caught several fish under Wayne’s tutelage, and, of course, Wayne caught fish whenever he cast. I tried the clinch knot for tying on flies rather than the improved clinch, it worked great all day, though I did not catch a lot of fish, and is a lot quicker to tie. I missed a lot of fish today.
Of note, the river was crowded today but no one was catching many fish. Also, Charlie is going to make a very good fly fisher.
