Not to beat a dead dog but I feel sharing the following is appropriate, especially since it coincides and occurred on the heels of our last month’s blog. Drum roll— just a few days ago we had our very first, 32 years of operations, last minute guide trip cancellation because a customer’s grandson expressed no desire or interest for the outdoors and, according to the grandfather, could not get him off the motel couch playing video games. Wow, bizarre, yet not surprising, especially after what we experienced last month. Oh well, different strokes for different folks. I do feel for the grandfather, especially after purchasing his grandson a new fly rod, making all the detailed preparations and taking the time traveling up here. Is this the beginning of the new generation?
