A very nice, enjoyable little read in today's Times,

Very nice indeed. My favorite passage is "At some point, most anglers begin to
wonder why they fish. Over the years the reasons pile up into a beaver dam of
arguments, tangled this way and that, some more reasonable than others. I've
come to a point in my fishing life where I simply like walking down the
drainage - seeing where the streambed goes, where the tributaries enter, where
the view rises from. Standing in the low spots is a good way to see the world.
Nearly everything comes down to the water sooner or later."

If you are fond of this kind of writing, you might also enjoy Klinkenborg's
recent "The Rural Life".
