Anthony,
You are a real writer, every bit as much as I am. Thanks for your interest in my book. I should tell you, however, it’s a “heavy” book, and as one reviewer said, “It’s not for everyone.”

Randy – good to hear from you. Thanks for the comment – I’m flattered to get a comment from a real writer (not just a hack like myself). It’s always nice to get comments from new folks too. I was checking out your website and I’m intrigued by your book. It is going on the wishlist.

Very nice report. I’ve been there, on streams here in NY.

That one made it through just fine – I’ll have to keep an eye on the spam filter though. Comments are too precious a commodity to miss. Thanks!

I’m guessing you have some sort of “timer” that doesn’t like it when I post comments too close to each other so assumes it’s spam. Maybe the same will happen to this one?

Scott – I just found this comment in my spam catcher?! Sorry I didn’t see it earlier. I have no idea why it ended up in there.

I have no idea why your website hasn’t been in my RSS reader feeds (I would’ve been a more frequent commenter). That’s been taken care of.

Hope is one of my favorite themes (maybe more to convince myself than anything else?). I’ve done a couple of posts on my website about fishing and hope.

I also enjoyed the many similes/metaphors in this post.

(I hope I didn’t double/triple post this)

Scott,

Good to hear from you. I didn’t realize when I started writing that it was going to be about hope. And maybe I didn’t really realize it until you I read your comment. But sometimes hope is all we’re left with isn’t? (not to be too dramatic).

Well, there is a new year ahead of us – mine is filled with dreams of big fish (and small ones too), endless riffles, blizzard hatches, fish that are mistaken for snags, snags that are mistaken for fish…

Anthony,

Very well-written. And so true about that moment just before fishing sometimes being the best part. I love anticipation and the hope of what can be. As long as I keep those hopes somewhat tempered, those tiny fish just confirm that my hopes are really just that.
