 " You’re
standing on the opencasting
deck
of a flats boat in a reservoir somewhere in
Utah. Breathtaking
mountains frame your day
on the water as you take another cast with your five
weight.
The tiny nymph your guide has suggested you
use hits the water fifty feet out and slowly sinks. You begin almost
imperceptible twitching
as
you slowly
strip. Suddenly, a violent tug brings an involuntary hook set. You’re
fast into a four-pound rainbow that does a number of good leaps and takes
line a couple of times.
The fish is boat side in a few minutes where it’s released. You sit
down and soak up your surroundings for a moment in the cool mountain air.
Then you are back up to cast again."
