Breaking by Dave Motes |
|||
At first it's flash and bulge, hint and tense among calm swells, the squinting sense that something's there.
Then they break, in sprays of prey,
Birds burst like flames,
It's a pulsing cell of splash and boil
And at the edge my eye hooks one single fish ~Dave Motes
Home for Dave is Oakton, Virginia where he is a high school English teacher and Fly fishing instructor and guide with Mark Kovach Fishing Services on the upper Potomac River near Harper's Ferry, WVA. He is married with a two-year old son, and fishes both salt and freshwater for trout and bass, stripers, but mostly smallmouth from Alabama to Minnesota. |
