I find myself keeping fewer and fewer trout as I age. Thus, I always use a barbless hook. I read once that a fly tier is always learning new tecniques, tricks, ideas and concepts. That keeps one's mind from rusting and decaying. Matching wits with the brain of a trout is certainly a humbling experience. Helping the Oregon fish biologist plant trout in remote desert reservoirs is infinitely more rewarding than catching a trout.

The fancy graphite rod or binoculars are not tools for dominating nature, but communication devices that connect us with it.<br /><br />Yes, bombing over the water in a noisy boat with a case of beer can make for great stories--but very anthropocentric stories where nature is merely the background or a thing to be used.EcoRoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294159049375690786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-36241026938188485252010-06-03T16:31:22.720-06:002010-06-03T16:31:22.720-06:00The peace of the woods, the ripple of water, the s...The peace of the woods, the ripple of water, the smell of fish... OH! If everyone could just slow down enough to fish or walk a wooded path, this world wouldn't be so plastic. <br />PS..

First, while not producing any meaningful literature, three guys, a boat and a case of beer often produce some amazing stories;)<br /><br />Secondly, the Justice's quote seems to apply to birding or hiking but I don't think it applies to fishing, not in spirit.<br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.com
