river daydream



Lately I have been getting interested in learning more about fly fishing. My father has been an avid flyfisherman for years, but my only firsthand experience has been a few outings with him and my brother, mostly clumsy casting and very few catches. I signed up for a class a few weeks from now, and decided to go look at some rods today. Although it is very unlike me, I did not just buy the first one I liked, but instead decided to do a little more research. I found myself surrounded by thousands of dollars' worth of "stuff" in the store, wishing I could already be outfitted and on the river. Sometimes I would just like to skip over all the material necessities of life and get right down to the experiences.
