A
Place on the Water
Glenn Wolff
"All these things -
fish caught, problems solved, the sights and scents and sounds of woods
or meadows,
the quiet ease of companionship, good food on sharpened hunger,
comfortable warmth built from cold
and discomfort – are satisfactions. Some are physical, some mental, and
some no doubt spiritual."
Roderick Haig-Brown (A
River Never Sleeps)
"I have never seen a
river that I could not love. Moving water . . . has a fascinating
vitality. It has power and
grace and associations. It has a thousand
colors and a thousand shapes, yet it follows laws so definite
that
the tiniest streamlet is an exact replica of a great river."
Roderick
Haig-Brown (The Seasons of the Fisherman)
"I thought about the friends, lovers, and
family I had fished with,where they were now and what they might be
doing....It
must all be catch-and-release in the end, I thought, all part of a flow
whose essence
we can never truly grasp."
Bill Barich (Crazy for
Rivers)
