I simply love guiding with dry flies all day long and am getting pretty good keeping up with the constant changes in preferences between Yellow Sallies, PMDs, Drakes and Stones. We changed flies all day caught fish all day. Great job Kory! on his first fly fishing trip he landed 17 McCloud beauties. I started getting jealous.
