This reminds me of a trip I took to Yellowstone. Long story short I hired a guide because most of my conventional gear was not allowed. I was intimidated and wrongly assumed that fly fishing was too hard to learn quickly. Boy was I wrong. We practiced for 30 minutes tops and we were off floating the snake river. Cutthroat after cutthroat. One of my favorite fishing memories. I say all this to really say that fly fishing may seem intimidating but a guide can spin you up pretty quick and before you know it you’ll be the one hooked. Thanks Jason for your story. Now I need to get to Yosemite!
That's awesome. Greg put the bug back in me in a big way. I fly fished a lot in Arkansas growing up. But put down the fly rods for more than a decade. Picked them back up late last year and now I have the bug something awful. I'd love to get on the Snake at sometime in the future. A good, patient guide will shortcut a lot of frustrating hours of trial and error.
Excellent piece Jason! It felt like I was there experiencing it as well while reading! My wife and I have this destination on our bucket list as well! Thanks for the recap!
Thanks Marty. My hope is to encourage people to take the trip. Put these trips on their bucket lists and then be successful doing it. I hope to have a follow up piece with Greg on the nitty gritty details of euro nymphing.
Thanks Long! I hope to make these full of information and valuable to folks considering similar trips. Encourage folks to take that bucket list trip sooner than later.
