I came across this bit of poetry, which just about sums up my approach to fishing. Enjoy the moment, enjoy the sea, and maybe catch a few fish too.

Tis not a proud desire of mine

I ask for nothing superfine

No heavy weight, no salmon great

To break the record or my line

Only an idle little stream

Whose amber waters softly gleam

Where I may wade, through woodland shade

And cast the fly, and loaf, and dream

Only a trout or two to dart

From foaming pools, and try my art

Tis all I’m wishing – old-fashioned fishing

And just a day on Nature’s heart

Henry Van Dyke
