    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.

Fly fishing is a very pleasant amusement; but angling or float

leaves it in the water for a time; the fish continues to swim
