A studied, careful, stealthy, oh so stealthy approach almost
on your belly. Planning and plotting and waiting for the one

drift, a foot-long brookie vibrating and pulsing with the
frantic energy of the wild come to hand.


My daughter giggling and tossing her pigtails while catching bluegills
just after she learned to cast her push-button with a bubble and black
gnat.


You got it right, oz.

Well said.
