August 16, Yellowstone

You never know what you might pick up at a fly shop. Sweetwater Fly shop owner Dan Vermillion was lucky enough to take President Obama fishing on Friday. In fact he bought his license at Sweetwater. After their few hours of fishing Obama signed this rod. I guess they caught a few fish... long distance release. Dan said the Prez was interested in learning about the sport and was a good student and a great guy.
I was just as happy taking out Don, his daughter Courtney and her friend McKenzie. The girls fished for about a half an hour catching three fish, but were more interested in standing in the hot springs. We dropped them off with their Aunt as we passed by the riverside cabin in which they live.
Don caught a bunch of nice trout on a chubby Chernobyl, although he left his lucky fly in a fishes mouth.
