Speaking to trout:
I like the anticipation of getting up early and heading out to fish one of my favorite waters.
I like pouring myself a good cup of coffee and enjoying a country ham sandwich before rigging up.
I like the walk down the railroad tracks to my favorite stretch, enjoying all the early morning signals of the season.
I like sitting and observing the water and trying to figure out what fly to tie on.
I like the feel of my bamboo rod working out line and laying out a good cast.
I like the hookup with a wild brown trout, especially if I can see it coming assuredly.
I like the rush and calm of the river.
I like seeing woodducks, beaver, mink, and other wild creatures that are unaware I see them.
I like being a small part of nature, if only for a short time.
I even like the walk back to the truck and the drive home, as I can still vividly recall all of the wonder I've experienced that day!
I truly love fly fishing for trout.
Heading out early in the morning. Hope I can get a good night sleep.I know I will Sunday!

When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
