A full day lets Tom fish the float that gives you the best shot at the biggest fish, whether that’s skwalas on the Bitterroot in March, salmonflies on the Blackfoot in June or streamers for fall browns. There’s time to fish the morning hatch, stop for lunch on a gravel bar and work the evening water.
