i unhooked my fly from the guide, and prepared
for my first cast, calculating where i should cast it to get the best
results. then, just as i raised my arm, a quite long, brown, banded
snake swam up and snatched him!

well, i was quite put out, but there is no question that the better
fisherman won, and it was nothing less than fascinating to watch the
snake take that fish up onto the sloping bank, and work it. i was
glad that the man with the little boy did not have his son avert his
eyes, rather they watched the action together. great stuff for a kid,
i think.
anyway, the star of the day was that awesome fish stealing snake.


..great story unbanded snake, just think, wasn't it just last spring when
you wanted to learn to flyfish? ;-)

yes, and i despaired of doing so. thank you frank- you have made my fly
fishing dream come true ;-), and given me something to enjoy my whole life
long.

ever grateful-
