Well it was a Grand Slam day.
We had an awesome time and our guide Todd with SFO was fantastic.

He treated us right uptown. Here's and example.

The best part was Gloria, first time with a fly rod and her first cutty.

Like I had said I had never been with a guide and Tod went beyond anything I had espected. We got on the water at 10 and fished till 7, he fixed my pole and then let me use his for the entire trip, never once got into my flies or had to tie a fly on or take a fish off. He even undid my wind knots and other messes besides keeping the fly in the sweet spots as we worked the banks.
The whole trip was exciting with lots of beautifull scenery and he knows how and where to go for sure. The best was when we hit a hatch on the gravel bar where we had lunch. We'd work the bank and the the drop off all right where we had stopped to eat for at least an hour and a half. The fish were feeding all around us and then some cloud cover came in and WOW did it turn on!
Not sure if I will get to do that again but it was a great time and I do love to dry fly fish.
