Last week when fishing with someone new I was asked “so what is the best part of being a guide?” a different perspective from the usual tell me the bad parts question I usually get. I quickly responded that I 
really appreciate seeing the place that I live and work through the eyes of visitors who are seeing it for the first time or are here because they love it.
Of course the weather is still way too warm but the pace slows a little. There is time to relax some and make a few repairs. Today’s challenge is the garage door but that is another story. After this stretch of 
warm weather we begin the turn towards fall with clear crisp days and cool nights. The time of year I always look forward to.
As this excellent season winds down it struck me this afternoon; the only time a canoe was off of the trailer was last spring when I was personally doing some trout fishing.
