I am part of a tradition,Which like a flowing river,Joins me to the past,Even as it carries me Into the future.

Henry H.Kanemoto on Fly Fishing 1966

Tradition..

Fly fishing,a

Joining

Me to the past

Mom always said, “I think your dad would have liked all boys.”

My sisters and I worked on the cars, built brick walls and did

Everything a boy would be expected to do.

In my family,There were three traditions we

Grew up with…….Picking huckleberries,

Eating pasties,And

FLY FISHING!

Dad started us out young…

.Dad always said,

“Think like a fish.”

“Sneak up on the hole.”

As I grewSo did myLove for

Fly fishing.

Many go fishing all their lives without

knowing it was not fish they were

after.

Henry David Thoreau
