"There's something about fly fishing a stream that grows on you. It
affords more opportunities to meld with nature than other types of
fishing, although each has its own special magnetism. In what other
kinds of fishing can you smell the sweetness of the native flowers along
the banks of the stream, see the eagle as he searches for his next meal,
or the bear fishing for breakfast, watch the different hatches and try
to identify and match them, listen to the sounds of the stream from the
tinkling of a small brook as you wade upstream, to the throaty roar of a
whitewater river as you dart and dip along in your drift boat, searching
for that special "seam" where you know there'll be a big trout. Yes,
there's something about fly fishing a stream that grabs you and won't
let go.”
