Place of Solitude

Away in the woods someone sleeps but not for long. The little boat

awaits the long fishing day ahead. Surely this day will bring the big catch.

Somewhere deep in the dark water a monster is lurking but with the cast

of the right lure he won't be able to resist. At dusk the little boat will be

returned here to its place of solitude.

Fishing Gear

With the patience of Job he ties on his favorite fly.

He walks down to the creek through the thick under brush.

His arms both scratched and bleeding now hold the fly rod with precision.

10 to 2 and then swish the sound of the line whipping by ever so softly until

it lands hitting the perfect spot. The spot just beyond the submerged rock where

bass love to hide. Just then the water boils and a tug on the rod produces the big one.

I can remember a time not so long ago when I went fishing with my best friend Benny who is also my husband. We would go down to the lake in our little boat with fishing poles and cold drinks in hand. Our bait was live crickets. I would stick my hand down in the cricket cage and they would climb my fingers with their scratchy little legs. I would bait them on the hook and if we were lucky would go home with supper.

There is no better place or time than spending the evening fishing with

your best friend down on the lake.
