It sounds to me that he may have been trying to find any reason as to why his client went fishless. You know, I get probably the most satisfaction out of catching a steelhead when I pick one up behind other boats or in an area that a sled has worked. I guess I feel a little more skillful than lucky. At any rate you were definately the bigger man by not belittling his guiding skills or bragging about yours and then walking away when he offended you. If his client had a brain at all I'm sure he will find another guide next time. What a crappy ending of an otherwise enjoyable outing for that client.
