Perhaps it was only a trick of the water, a trompe loeil of the late
summer light, or maybe just one of those hallucinatory visions provoked
by hours on end of upstream nymphing. You know the feeling: cast, lift,
reach, lift, cast again over and over, always staring, until the world
fades away, sun and bird song and roar of water, until all thats left
is the endless downstream dance of the strike indicator.
