T/o turns roman into a sierra trout slayer
after work on thurs I went up to intake 2 and had a slayfest. just to the side of me there was a father and son fishing ,I was wfo they looked to be a little slow. fri after work I went up for round #2, the father and son were back ,this time on the other side of the bubble hole. I walked up got my stuff out and was putting on a clinic. I kept watching the dad and young man fish and they were not doing very well. after a while I felt I had to do something, so I set my pole down and took a powermouse over and handed it to roman and told him if you want to catch like me put this on youre hook and throw it out there ,he looked at me kinda of funny then he put it on and threw it out . the next couple hours as I fished and he did I coached him ,telling him exactly how and where to throw it and work it. after a while he started to slay them and every time he got a fish ,I could see the amazement in his face. after a while his father Rafael started talking to me and thanking me for being so kind, I asked if roman was partially deaf ,because when I talked to him he was giving me many different looks. then Rafael told me that he has autism ,that explained why he was trying to figure me out. the more I helped the better his fishing was happening ,he was slaying like an old pro in a couple hours and him and his dad had a blast. as I packed up to leave I gave them a full packet of the hot mouse that was working, roman and his dad both thanked me ,during the afternoon the had to run back there truck ,while they did I had told roman to look up troutonly on the internet when he got home and he would know who I was. while they walked to there truck and back roman looked me up. when I was leaving I was reminding him to look me up and Rafael told me he already did......when Rafael said that roman gave me a great big smile and a wave goodbye..................
