Mahogany Duns . . . or, Getting Outfished by The Wife yet Again

The Wife and I were up in Cody last weekend for a few meetings and, with a few free hours Friday afternoon, got to hit the river with some of the local TU members.
The river was pretty low and full of macrophites. As luck would have it, a mahogany dun hatch was underway and had the river's full attention. I caught two quick fish in the 12-inch range and missed a couple others.

While not a bad start, The Wife wasn't to be outdone. She caught this 16-incher while fishing dries right across the river from me. Thanks to Bob for the great guide services.
After an afternoon of fishing, we wound our way back to Irma's for dinner and eventually ended up at the Silver Dollar Bar. How any place stays in business while selling entire pitchers of beer for $5 is beyond me. Ridiculous.

don't ask questions such as these...leave good beer prices as good beer prices - you don't want to upset the gods

Sage advice. The Wife and I were in Cody once before on a Tuesday (or was it a Thursday?) and they had $2-pitcher specials! Needless to say, there's no need to split a pitcher at that price.
