Environment Conditions:	It started out as overcast and a little wet in the morning the first day and cleared off later. The second day was perfect with few clouds, blue skies, and temperatures in to the high seventies.
Tips:	Tom Wolf is a world class fly fisherman and guide. I learned more in two days fishing with Tom than I had learned over years of first hand experience. From launching long casts and perfecting a variety of retrieves, to a better understand of the water and habitat, Tom has a wealth of knowledge and expertise that made this a particularly unique and special experience. As shown in the program, Tom poles or rows his boat into casting positions, as he carefully looks for signs of fish. He uses a unique type of Florida Flats approach, as he stalks and ambushes cruising fish in the shallows. We were a little early for the best coho action, but the cutthroat fishing was terrific. Chum salmon are a prime target in the Fall. Tom guides year round and enjoys superb fishing every month of the year on this enormous and productive body of water.
