I booked with WCA about 3-4 weeks before going to Victor ID on a family vacation. I spoke with Chris on the phone, told him about my fly fishing experience, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. He recommended a full day float trip on the lower Snake River based on time of year and my fly fishing abilities. I met my guide, Jesse the morning of the trip and we hit it off fairly quickly during the drive to the river. On the water Jesse had me make a few casts to determine my ability, gave me a couple tips for better casting, and I had a fish on my 4th cast! The winds rose to 45mph in the canyon that day and Jesse worked extremely hard to keep me in good casting position. I landed 15+ fish that day and lost a few more. Most of the other guides/anglers we saw at the take-out ramp were talking about landing 5-10 fish even with 2 anglers aboard. Jesse's work on the oars and his intuition to change from dry flies (which were working, but very hard to cast in the wind) to nymphs made all the difference and gave me a very memorable and exciting day!
