Dick,
I'm thankful you ran into the young guy at the fly shop that prompted you to write and share another of your "long winded fishing narratives". And what timing. I'm imagining that you spent most of the Thanksgiving break putting this and the next chapter together. Good thing you got re-stented and that going through it, turned out to be worthwhile so you could still return to altitude and attitude. Your personal photo is showing a much leaner flyfisherman than the guy that appeared in forums over 3 and 4 years ago. While there may not be as much of you to reflect for me it is your reflections and introspections that make your writing so compelling. Throw in a bit of southern flavored analogies/metaphors that make you scratch your head and you've got a winning combination. Thanks for sharing such an intimately personal story. And thanks for the images of all the landscapes and streams we both seem to explore. I don't think I'll ever get to retire there (or nearby) due to family but I am sure that like you, every year I am capable, I'll make the pilgrimage. That part of the high country has begun to define who I am.

Maybe next summer.....I do know a stream or two with some excellent fishing that are not quite the walk.
and...don't wait too long for chapter 2.
