...you find out they have been secretly fly fishing behind your back for years . My sister lives half-way across the country in the Seattle area. We have always been 'close' in spirit but her being 13 years older than me, we basically grew up in 'separate' families of 8 kids. Her the eldest and I the youngest.
She sends me a text yesterday about the hot weather in Seattle(I live in the South, so hot to them is anything over 70 degrees ). But it seems they have had a hotter summer than us. We have had record lows and they have had record highs. Strange.
Anyway.
She sends me a picture of a stream she is at with her grandson and I just out of the blue asked (as a joke): "got a fly rod with you"? And she replies "yup". I had no idea. And she had no idea either.
So I sent her a few pictures of some fish I have caught in Arkansas and we have a great time discussing fly fishing. Gonna try to see if she will bring her grandson to Dry Run Creek to fish. A chance of a lifetime for a youngster!
