One of my favourite days on the trip was arranged by my friend Ian Pinder who had the pleasure of a Drift Boat ride down the Bow River. I was not sure what to expect from a drift boat experience but was very excited about the prospect. We used Clint Anderson who also owns and runs the Red Moose Lodge where we were staying.
He has a score of years experience guiding and fishing on the Pere Marquette and also got the Brit sense of humour (very helpful when dealing with Ian and myself). We had a good deal of rain through the night and more was promised during the day. As far as days out fly fishing go this will stay with me for a long time. The definite advantage that you have fishing from a boat is access to fresh water. If an area was busy you simply up anchor and drift down a bit.
Having a guide early in the trip also helped with preparing for the rest of the weeks fishing. Let me know what your most memorable days fly fishing was in the comments section below.
