    I've been trying to figure this out for a little while now with no results. Do you have anything else from the text, or any other way to figure out more source information. I want to guess Hemingway...but can't seem to come up with why I wan't to guess that. Is the narrator ever identified? If you have the paper, is it from a magazine or a book? No page numbers?

    the consensus guess at this point is Schwiebert's Nymphs

    I'm glad someone got to the bottom of it. No wonder I was confused though, Callaghan was another writer/friend of Hemingway (I knew the dang name rang a bell)...Thank you google! That was driving me crazy.

    Hemingway would have devoted an entire paragraph describing the river and the light shining through the frost rimmed trees and gone into detail how the numbed hands felt. Also with Hemingway instead of "my fingers", Callaghan grinned. It would have been...Callaghan grinned, "My fingers!" Hemingway is one of my favorite authors, been to his gravesite outside of Ketchum (Haley) a couple of times. Schwiebert is good stuff too. The couple of times I fished Silver Creek, I tried to imagine Papa casting his little Hardy to a rising trout.
