Engage Something New in Fly Fishing

I search for something new in fly fishing.

I consider a new fly; a new rod, or some hole I never fished. Or some place exotic.

Perhaps I need a new technique. A new cast that allows the fly to run deep and drag free under a tricky seam line. The fish might be there and they might not.

But then I realize that what I need most is simply more of me engaged in this old sacred ritual that forever teaches me.

Fly fishing reminds me that what I need is within my heart.

To engage.
