Fishing is one of those exceptional experiences like mountain climbing, surfing or paddling where two schools of thought exist among the diverse crowd of folks who pursue these passions. One school believes in roughing it and that the full experience of camp fires, sleeping on the ground or getting stung by jellyfish is all part of the grand experiment that we call outdoor sport. I sometimes find myself unwittingly fulfilling this rung on the ladder...
Others, I have learned, combine their time, energy and equipment used in the field into one with the natural surroundings and go into the world "smoothing it" the way a talented surfer carves a line in a fourteen foot wave, or a fly angler casts 80 feet of line to a tailing fish and presents the fly with the softness of a butterfly landing on the water. For me this is the goal and these are the friends and sponsors that have inspired me to do so...
