This is a photo of the Muskegon River, a couple miles upstream from Newaygo, Michigan. It was a favorite place to fish mostly because of its proximity to my home. This post is for my good friend, fly-fisherman, and poet, Bob Dahl, https://bob-dahl.com/
I know that feeling of great satisfaction while fly-fishing!
I’ve spent many days on trout streams catching absolutely nothing
After a long day it felt as if I had been there only minutes.
I would get lost in the craft of fly-casting,
in the nature of trees and water
wading against the unrelenting force of the river.
Those days were the most memorable – and successful – of my life.
It wasn’t so much about catching fish
as getting lost in the nothingness of myself.

Ohhh, I can feel that happiness – that is such a great piece.

Beautiful photo of a beautiful river.
We need to fish the river together.
I’m sure you could teach me much
about the fine art of fly fishing.
Thank you so much, my good friend.
Stay safe and hang in there. 🧗♂️
Bob
