点评:Just returned home from a float fishing trip with About Trout guides Kyle McCallum (three days) and John Kelley (one day). This was our second multi-day trip with Kyle in less than a year. Both he and John epitomize what perfect guides should be. They are experts at reading the San Juan, regardless of conditions. They put my partner and me on fish regularly throughout the day, and both of us broke our personal best records at least three times. But having hired many guides during a lifetime of fishing, I know catching fish is only one part of eight hours on the river. Great guides are never intrusive or overbearing. Both Kyle and John gave us excellent input and advice when we asked for it; otherwise, they stepped back and let us fish. Both have amazing people skills. We all shared personal stories and engaged in continual humorous banter. Both told us, "It was a delight to have you on my boat." Kyle and John, you can be sure that it was a delight for us just to get to spend time with you. We are already planning our third trip! — Randy Frank
翻译:我刚和About Trout的导游凯尔·麦卡勒姆(三天)以及约翰·凯利(一天)一起完成了一次漂流钓之旅,回到家中。这是不到一年内我们第二次与凯尔一起进行多日垂钓之旅。他和约翰堪称完美向导的典范。无论 conditions如何,他们都能精准研判圣胡安河的鱼情。一整天里,他们不断帮我和我的伙伴钓到鱼,我们俩各自的个人最佳记录都至少被打破了三次。不过,由于多年来钓鱼时请过不少向导,我深知在河上度过的八小时里,钓到鱼只是其中一部分。优秀的向导绝不会过分干涉或专横跋扈。每当我们请求建议时,凯尔和约翰都会给出非常中肯的指导意见;除此之外,他们便退到一旁,任由我们尽情垂钓。两人的人际交往能力都极为出色。我们彼此分享个人经历,还不停地开着玩笑、逗乐彼此。最后,他们俩都对我们说:“能邀请你们上船真是太开心了。” 凯尔与约翰,真是太棒了。可以肯定的是,能和您共度时光对我们而言真是莫大的愉悦。我们已经开始计划第三次旅行了!——兰迪·弗兰克
