"In a lifetime nearing seven decades, I have devoted the vast majority of my time probing the mysteries of legendary waters like the Yellowstone, Firehole, Madison, Snake, & the Henry's Fork. Numerous lesser known rivers & lakes have cooled my legs but not my enthusiasm as I roam this region with a constant spirit of anticipation & discovery. In a single lifetime, it would be impossible to fish all the water in & near the park, & a close relationship with even a handful is a significant accomplishment."
