Wonderful words, thought provoking...

The call of the wild is very strong.

Great article! I have been not to your home waters, but to where you were when you were heading there. There was a day when I got "Gut Shot" as I was leaving on a fishing trip with my daughter. A little parting wisper in the ear before driving away. Interesting dynamic...feeling sick to my core, and trying to act as excited as I always do on a fly fishing trip with just my daughter... Fast forward many years and that day was the greatest blessing in my life. I now fly fish often on special streams with my kids, and a beautiful "second chance" that loves to share life with me and sometimes goes along and really enjoys it. I am just so thankful for a hobby or sport that got me through a rough childhood, throught the end of a long and dark period, and now to be the peace and joy I look forward to that has created so many great memories with my family. Your story was spot on and I loved the imagery and the fondness that you remember your home waters. I have such a place, and you took me back there. THanks again! JPSierraGuy
