DAY 16 - Tuesday, June 17

Fishing day. Drove down to the Big Hole River that we've all heard and read about to learn the basics of guiding fly fishermen. Our instructor was Bill Kemph, a full-time fishing guide with a passion for his trade. Bill started with the basic knots, fly types (wet/dry), casting techniques, water reads, and fly patterns for different uses. Then he took us two at a time in his drift boat and coached us on fishing as well as giving pointers on handling drift boats. Slow day fishing, overall, but everyone got action and variety. We caught Cutthroats, Rainbows, Browns, Grayling and even some Whitefish. JP, one of the students, hooked into a 30-inch, 8-pound brown - definitely the fish of a lifetime.
