Hap, that was an excellent story. I read it to my son. Today before school he asked if I would by him a fishing rod for his birthday.
I agree. Great story, Hap.
Sometimes we get a great story. Sometimes we get great writing. This time we got both.
Thanks, Art.
John
Thanks guys! I especially appreciate the concept of bending other kids to the fly rod…
Night before last Riley was tying Catskill Lights for a contest. His are #26. I have lots of trouble seeing them these days… And he just turned 15 and I have to look up at him. I was 6’4" in an earlier life.
Last night we were tying smolt patterns for lake trout. A trip we decided is an annual thing after the fun we had last summer. He got very elaborate for fish literally foaming the water chasing schools of smolts.
