“I love to watch Norman work out a fly. It’s like a ballet or something, the way the white line loops out against the dark trees like rope tricks at magic shows. I don’t know how he does it, but I probably catch more fish than he does, with only a worm on.  Sometimes I’ll put on a Mepps or something and cast, but then maybe the line gets all screwed up on the reel.  Norman says it’s cause girls elbows are built funny, but I don’t think it matters.  He says catching fish is nice, but that that’s not the point.  “Gracie,” he’ll say, “if all I wanted was fish, I’d use a net. “
