“Spillane’s focus roamed over our entire group, but soon he spent more time on those of us with the smallest count. He handpicked places along the stream, pointing to spots in the river and showing us how to hit with our flies without ever just doing it himself. We caught a lot of plants and trees, sticks and two rocks, but we caught on.” Joel Reichenberger was surprised to find that one of his guides for prowling Steamboat creeks was a silver-medal winner.
