This week have been one of the worst that I have ever had in my life. My Grandmother is sick in the hospital with a heart attack and lung failure, Work has been crazy, I think I tore a ligament in my knee, and a kid stepped on my fly rod at a Park Lake breaking it in half. With all that said part of the reason why I fly fish is because of the relaxation, joy, irony, frustration along with the many other thing that I get out of it. It’s funny because within all of this chaos, I decided to take a 30 minute breather at a Local Park only to be pleasantly surprised by catching 5 Goldfish in a row. This inevitable put a huge smile on my face as I found myself thinking about how they got there (The little kid that I had never met that decided his goldfish were too big for his fish bowl or the Vietnamese guy who put them in as a tribute to a recently lost relative). Whatever the case catching them was fun and that to me is what Fly Fishing is all about “having a little bit of fun”.
