"Treat" of the Week

This weeks "treat" comes through as one of the toughest clients I have ever had. It really wasn't because he was a bad fisherman or even a bad guy. This was one of the nicest guys I've ever guided and he caught a lot of fish too. 

The real problem I had to deal with was that this particular client had Alzheimer's. 

This made my job tough for a number of reasons. The obvious of course was that he couldn't remember me all the time or why I was there. He had trouble remembering where he was, or where he was going.  The toughest was that he couldn't remember how the fishing was that day. Since, he didn't remember what he caught he told all his friends every day that the fishing sucked even when he spent the entire day landing fish! I had to remind him, remember that fish through that run and show him a picture or two. This was day in day out for an entire week. I felt bad for the guy but it was unbelievably frustrating to have to convince him that he was having a great trip!
