                                         FISHING

"Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish."
                                                                              – Ovid
                                                               The Roman Poet  

   Years ago I was fly casting for trout in a high mountain lake. I had waded out from the shore to get a better chance to catch something. As I made my backcast in preparation to fling the fly way out there, I felt my line pull up tight.
   Thinking I was snagged on a weed or limb, I pulled hard but to no avail. Then the snag began to move! A good sized trout had been cruising the shoreline and had grabbed the fly.
   I try to remember that experience, especially when I think I know what I'm doing in life.
