bp,
I was smiling the whole time I read your report. Funny drafting! Love your style, brother!
I fished the Shoshone in July (and several others around Yellowstone/Tetons the week I was there) and on several occassions, I had to stop and consider whether the spot I was fishing was, in fact, open to fishing!
Gorgeous spot right by the road, cutt after cutt willing to leap out of the water after a stimulators, no one waiting for me to move or vacate the spot I was fishing, no boats drifting over my cast, in fact, no one... period. I was certain I was fishing a closed section of the river...
Funny what we're accustomed to here in California.
I saw a bumper sticker on an old Ford PU there... Don't Californicate Wyoming!
dpt916,
I can relate. I was interested in knowing the difference in float tubes hanging on the wall of another fly shop in the area and the salesperson, willing, for only a moment, to break himself from time-sensitive task of restocking the inventory to help the only customer in the shop (me), said, "I think they're pretty much the same." He then re-focused his attention to restocking the very shelves from which I wasn't interested in purchasing a thing. Off to Bill's place...
Bill,
I hope you appreciate that we all would like to spend every last dime in your shop, but often times, we're there just because we can be.

fly: Very light artificial fly fishing lure of which there are two types: the dry fly which isn't supposed to sink the way it just did; and the wet fly, which shouldn't be floating up on the surface like that. An Angler's Dictionary.
