At the setting of the sun
The angler takes up his rod and gear
Ambles to his boat
Setting his rod and line
Selecting the cast of choice
Attaching to leader
Net at ready
The low humb
Of the outboard motor
Murmers low
Across the rippled glass
Barely a wake
Anouncing his arrival
Anchor slowly and carefully
Relaesed
Rod in hand
Cast in action
With a swish,crack,swish
The flies gently lay
Softly breaking the surface
Sinking leader
With intermediate and float
Support
The play and game
Begin
Man against nature
The flies simulate movement
Glinting and shimmeing
Against the water flow
Bobbing and diving
Mimicing there natural kin
The take
With speed
From the depths
Choice is made and executed
Fooled and baffeled
Stuck on the size 8
Thrashing and diving
Trying to break free
The play
Stripping line as it plummets
Reeling and playing in line
Figure 8 motion
Keeping tension on set hook
Too and frow
Up and down
Seconds to minutes
Concentration against flite
The net end
Both man and fish
exauhsted and flagging
Line being retaken
More feet than inch
Reel refilling at speed
The catch breaks surface
Slight flinch instead of fight
Scale shimmer in moon light
Net prepared as end is near
As meekly and humbled
Belly up
Fish is landed
Had
Enough
