The water temperature is almost warm enough to cast a soft plastic toad. A great topwater lure for bass, it's fished on and around emergent weeds. The paddle feet kick up the water to attract the fish.

When you get a strike, the trick is to feel the weight of the fish before setting the hook.

I'm can't fish as much as I would like as age & trying to maintain health takes up more time.

From that I've learned to try to make the time I do fish richer. Getting strikes is part of the experience but not everything.

So I will pause often to engage senses; feel the wind & sun on my skin, listen to the water lapping on the boat hull, look around & up clouds and sky. Make more memories than just the catch.

And I will give thanks.

Archeologists say the earliest fishooks they've found -made of shell- are 20,000 years old, which means we've been fishing with hook and line 15,000 years before we developed settled agriculture. The rod would have come along as soon as it was necessary because even a chimpanzee knows that if he needs extra reach, all he has to do is get a stick.

Much is made of logic in fly-fishing these days, especially when it comes to trout, but the bass fisherman is still often faced with trying to decide whether his fish will eat a red and white thing as opposed to a bright yellow thing when there is no discernible reason why he should bite either.

Earlier today I posted an article about Kettle Falls in Voyager's National Park. The NPS is looking for a new concessionaire to operate this historic gem.

We boated in some 25 miles where we were met by the dock guy who portaged our 16.5' boat around the falls to the dock near our cabin.

The US Canadian border is between the mainland and this island. Canada is left.

A road trip ... can get all the cards on the table. The usual hardships of getting out early, getting in late, getting rained on, getting skunked, and all the other things you get tend to reveal character in a matter of days. Creeps and idiots cannot conceal themselves for long on a fishing trip.

I long ago came to believe that in the interest of mental health, everyone should have a specific obsession firmly in place: some mindless eagerness so compelling it seems to eminate from the universe at large rather than your own hyperactive brain.
