BELGRADE, Mont. — President Barack Obama didn’t let thunderstorms and unseasonably cool weather stop him from learning how to fish for Montana’s famous trout this weekend.
“He insisted that fishermen fish in the rain, so he said, ‘Let’s do it,’ ” said fishing guide Dan Vermillion. “The weather was really horrendous. We were all real cold at the end of the day.”
The president took 2 1/2 hours after his town hall near Bozeman on Friday to make good on a campaign promise to learn fly-fishing when he revisited the state. His guide said the commander in chief has become a serious student of the sport. The president did well for a first-timer, hooking half a dozen fish. The Associated Press
