Why We Fish....

[ofuros]

For me, it's the stimulation of my senses....fooling a wild stream jewel is just the icing on the cake.

Sight.......watching a trout lazily drifting in & out of the current, glimpses of fiery red parrots flitting through the canopy,
a slithering tail disappearing into the undergrowth, heavenly shooting stars.....

Hearing....myriad of bird calls during the day, strange mammalian cries in the inky darkness..

Taste.... a tipple of warming port, beside an flickering camp fire after a long day session, blue vein cheese, smoked trout,
freshly baked camp bread & melted butter......

Smell......a dark damp earthy rainforest, smoke on the wind warning of a bushfire close by, decaying roadkill....

Touch.....windblown snowflakes melting on my warm cheeks, hands cupping cool clear stream water.....
