[Richard Zieger]

"Alone and sunburned beside nameless streams, I've untangled my line again and again from overhanging branches.  alone and seasick in the stern of someone else's boat, I've untangled what seems like miles of gillnet.  but when a single trout hits my convincing fly, or a dozen silver salmon sink my carefully placed driftnet, the sensation is the same.  A silent but defiant, 'I told you so'. goes out to everyone and no one in particular."   Elizabeth Arnold in "Fly Fishing Stories By Women"   Rick
