...simply amazing stuff that is more forceful on a soul than any cancer.

Um......just as a for instance, you mean.....not that this is the sort of
thing any of us would have reason to take a personal interest
in........right? :(

You have to be kidding. Even I know that much better fishermen than
I am (almost everyone in the world) have some of the problems he
writes so well about some of the times. It's a strike home quote.

Ah, but isn't it the nature of good literature that it speaks to
each of us on a personal level?

However, having fished with a good few of them, it comes as no great
surprise. :)

Looking forward to sharing the pleasure with you sometime, Chuck.

Same here, Wolfgang.

I can't match that brag. Lost a bright orange San Juan worm in a bush over
the weekend, fishing the "Miracle Mile" of the North Platte river in
Wyoming. Never caught a fish either. Beautiful weather though.

I have this mad urge to cast as close as possible to vegetative
obstructions, preferably across an unwadeable current. It's like I'm
thinking that the most perilous cast is the one most likely to catch a
fish. If I lose a nymph or two to some deep, unseen log, I'll usually
re-rig as fast as I can and try the same drift. I get hung up a lot.
