LOL!!

Twenty years ago when I was just starting out after semi-retirement as
a "professional" guide, I took a trip out west with the family. Mrs.
Wave took the kids to see something and I went fishing with an First
American guide up the Snake River in Wyoming on reservation land.

Best fish ever. We caught a couple of nice size trout and the guide
kept them. Steamed them in corn husks with some salt and pepper.

Unbelievable.

Of course, outdoors in the beauty of the Grand Tetons might have
helped that along. :)

I bet. I think it was about '72 I stopped somewhere out that way to
gas up and got to talking with the gas pump jockey about fishing.
He was going fishing on the Snake or Green - can't remember - the
next day and invited me along. Said they be damming it up soon, and
he wasn't happy about that. I was in too big a hurry to take him up
on it, and always regretted it.
