I was the lucky winner of the trip for two with Bob from the " Fork's Raffle ".

What a great time! My son (Wormie Hermie) an I met Bob for breakfast, and the fun for us started right there.

While hermie is a somewhat experienced steelheader in decent shape, I'm an old, obese, crippled up, smart mouthed, has been of a deep sea fisherman. (Bob had his hands full)

I had never been in a drift boat before, and I'm pretty sure Bob had never had one of my size and inexperience in his before. I never had a clue that it was a problem! Bob is an extremely talented, helpful, entertaining, knowledgeable, guide! While it was my first driftboat experience, it was not my first chartered trip. It was the best! The water was very low (Bob said) but we had full time action!
Never tied into a really big one, but it wasn't for lack of effort. We fished every drift at least 2 times and many 3 or 4 times,( had a little problem teaching me the diff btween 3/4s of the way to the bank and on the bank or in the back of the boat or around the oar) only thing I didn't catch was the guide or my son, and that wasn't from lack of trying!

Thanks Bob You ARE the Man!
