OTHER:  Fished with Wayne.  The Resort Hole was covered up with people; we floated down to the riffle at the top of the Long Hole where I caught two fish right off the bat, then they quit.  We fished the tail out of the riffle, which held lots of fish, but had no success.  Wayne did well in the Long Hole, after finding the fish.  I also managed to fool a few dumb ones, including a nice 15-16 inch brown.  Our final stop of the day was McClellan’s, and it fished really well despite a head wind and practically o drift.  We both caught several fish, but had to work for them.  Wayne finished the day a bit downstream and caught his two biggest fish of the day.  He is definitely the Master when it comes to catching browns, and proved it once again today.  We both enjoyed fishing away from the crowds and getting into bigger fish.
