点评:I booked a fly fishing trip with Aaron and Rachel at Long Drift Outfitters and my guide was Jim Reynolds. It was my first time fly fishing and I was so happy that Jim was so patient with me. He had so many awesome tips to help me with casting techniques, where and when to drop my line in the water, and how to mend my line.
In no time at all, I was getting hits all over the river and even hooked up the biggest rainbow trout I've ever had on a line in my life! It was 18" and I was so stunned to see it right at the boat, I let my line slack and back in the river it went! With a bit more coaching about keeping my line tight, Jim showed me how I could land my next beautiful Rainbow, and I did!
Jim's knowledge of the Kootenai River was vast and he knew every nook and cranny of the river. He provided a very nice lunch on the shore, where we were both surprised by hundreds of the most beautiful swallowtail butterflies fluttering nearby. What an amazing day it was!
For me, this was an item on my bucket list and I couldn't have asked for a more rewarding experience!
Thank you Jim, and thank you, Long Drift Outfitters!
翻译:我在 Long Drift Outfitters 预订了 Aaron 和 Rachel 的飞蝇钓之旅,我的向导是 Jim Reynolds。这是我第一次飞蝇钓,我很高兴吉姆对我如此耐心。他有很多很棒的技巧可以帮助我掌握抛投技巧、何时何地将钓线放入水中,以及如何修补钓线。
没过多久,我就在河里到处钓到鱼了,甚至钓到了我这辈子钓到过的最大的虹鳟鱼!当时是 18 英寸,看到它就在船上让我惊呆了,我让我的钓线松了下来,它又回到了河里!吉姆对我进行了更多关于保持钓线紧绷的指导,向我展示了如何让我的下一个降落美丽的彩虹,我做到了!
吉姆对库特奈河的知识渊博,他了解河流的每一个角落。他在岸上提供了一顿非常美味的午餐,我们都对附近飞舞的数百只最美丽的燕尾蝶感到惊讶。这是多么美好的一天!
对我来说,这是我的遗愿清单上的一个项目,我不能要求更有价值的体验了!
谢谢 Jim,也谢谢 Long Drift Outfitters!
