My wife Amy can tell you first-hand what her experience was like out on the Madison 2 weeks ago! She is in the 3^rd photo down. This was her first time fly-fishing. Jamie (her guide) gave her a 30 minuite casting tutorial in parking lot and off they went. You will be able to read all about her trip in a future post, as she will be a guest writer!
