My new read
Started new book, heres the first paragraph:
Being a true fisherman is more than tossing crankbaits, tying flies or bottom-fishing smelly baits. It is a ancient and time-honored ritual. It is the bestowing of fishing secrets collected over the decades and passed from parent to child. It is the sharing with others the fish tales of a lifetime, often embellished, always heartfelt. Fishing is challenging, inspirational, spiritual--it embraces the essence of life. Fishing nurtures relationships and defines roles. It consoles and heals. Fishing is a reflection of what we are and who we want to be. It teaches patience, provides reachable goals and rewards those who educate themselves in the way of nature--or who simply get lucky. Few other activities posses the power to help mold young lifes while adding untold pleasures to our own. And perhaps most noteable: Fishing is Fun! Reminds you of why we really do it! |

nofearengineer, I actually read it twice, you are right! One of my favorite reads! Actually the movie wasn't bad either. Read it first time quite awhile before the movie was made. Had to re-read before I went to the flick. And now that you bring it up, I think I'll be reading it a 3rd. Thanks, you know how busy I am!
