Women Fly Fishers Long Ago
No, nothing complicated or intriguing to say re women fly fishing. I thought the poster was symbolic of times past and those women that ventured into the sport in a place far away. Did they tag along with the ‘bums’ of the past? They weren’t pushing a piece for Vanity Fair. They probably weren’t of celebrity status and spoon fed by some guide (least I want to believe that). Just ahead of their times and however they got there, I like it. Many of us pickup a rod to be near those we admire, love or just like to be around. The passion for this sport only ignites for one’s self once you internally get it. Once you are self contained and passionate about the experience then it doesn’t matter who led you to the water. You get it and need it.
How very true this is, and once “we get it’ we are forever thankful and thoughtful to the person who led us to the water…. a reverence will always be there for them.
“Many of us pickup a rod to be near those we admire…” yes, and now, I “get it and need it.” And, will forever admire and love the man who led me to water. Great, great post…
