In spickly-speckly water
reflecting the sun’s bright rays, I caught a 4-pound brook trout on a 3-weight
bamboo rod equipped with a big-name reel using a #10 grasshopper pattern. Sure,
it took awhile, and it sounds unlikely, but I’m a master angler, after all.
What’s the secret? There isn’t one. Be patient. Stay calm. Keep fishing.
A fish story. Knew you had one in you! Love it.
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds a bit fishy to me... I'm afraid you may be an unreliable narrator.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Also, the last words of advice. I think I needed them today.
ReplyDeleteI used to think anglers were sexy until I read about Jamie Fraser laying on a rock in his kilt tickling trout.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of tickling trout, but I must admit I hadn't heard of Jamie Fraser. I have, however, heard of Outlander.
