I really agree with that! I might add that the knowledgeable angler should make sure that he is in physical balance before netting a trout. I have a really unforgettable memory of netting a nice trout just to fall from a rock straight into the river. The temperature of the water was like 4 degrees centigrade or so. So the experience was rather unpleasent at the least.

Have fun fly fishing and fly tying,
M.O.

In Neck Deep

"There are moments of Zen clarity in these stories of Jay Zimmerman's fishing journey toward selfhood, and thank goodness, for they counterbalance moments of great uncertainty and intemperateness, nearly always refocused by the presence of creeks, rivers, oceans, and lakes. From Panama to Alaska and back to the Heartlands, the author finds in fishing and fish and the art of fly-tying a way to find his path into love and life. Think of Melville's Ishmael, reborn as a culture-shocked ex-paratrooper, struggling for meaning and accommodation in these contemporary chronicles of water, wildness, and meditation. This is a fine first book by a writer who has emerged."--Richard Hague, author of Alive in Hard Country
