Dreaming

I don't know how much we can control our nighttime dreams. I guess we need them to rest our mind and to entertain ourselves during slumber.

When it comes to daydreaming, though, we can control what we think about. And lots of us think about fly fishing. Maybe it's a fly tying session tonight - I really need to fill that empty spot in the box with fresh Adams. It might be an upcoming outing with a friend - will the small mayflies be emerging this time like they did when we went last year? I find thinking about a quick trip to a local warm water pond exhilarates me and fills me with hopes of hooking a bass or bluegill; maybe a carp or wiper.

Who knows? That's the cool thing about daydreaming, we can make it come out exactly as we hope it will. And sometimes it does.

When we get to the water and things don't quite work out, what do we do then?

We look for solutions. We book a guided trip, get some new fly patterns or take a casting class.

Somehow, we just keep on trying. We'll never give up, else how will fulfill our fly fishing dreams?

Come on in. Stay for awhile. Kick back. Remember the fine evening sitting in front of a fire talking about the trip at hand - or the last trip. Share memories with friends. Plan another trip. Learn something new.

While you're here have fun and enjoy the process.
