    Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of
    course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends
    think I shouldn't. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana
    where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not
    start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic
    half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my
    soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a
    four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.

In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly
fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in
western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a
fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told
us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were to
assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen
on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the
favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.

The fisher droppeth his net in the stream,
And a hundred streams are the same as one;
And the maiden dreameth her love-lit dream;
And what is it all, when all is done?
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.
