West Yellowstone 
Today we hit the river with our guide, Rob Orsini from Jacklin’s Fly Shop, to drift the Madison. Within a few minutes of fishing Andrea landed her first trout on a fly rod, a 16” brown trout. She ended up landing another and hooking several. Actually she hooked more than I did! I got a few browns and a nice rainbow, but lost a huge brown and missed probably 20 strikes!!! It was a frustrating day of fishing, but Andrea had fun and said she would like to do it again. Andrea also hooked me in the head on her back cast. She acted like it was an accident, but she was casting too good for that. Tomorrow we're off to Slough Creek in North Yellowstone.
We arrived to Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone at about 10:30 on Monday and quickly set up camp, did a little shopping, and then we headed for the Madison River to do a little trout fishing. I was skunked, but did have one nice fish break my leader. Andrea decided not to fish and just sat on the bank and read and swatted flies and mosquitoes. I can’t think of too many wives that would volunteer for that!
