Why I Fish: Some Days the View Ain’t So Bad

in Why I Fish

A non-fishing acquaintance asked me this past weekend if I ever get bored “just standing in the water all day”.

She caught me off guard with the question and my pause in responding (induced by trying to formulate some witty, seemingly off-handed yet eminently quotable reply) was long enough to make her uncomfortable.

My conspicuously unquotable reply: “No, some days the view ain’t so bad”.

Some days the view is downright jaw-dropping.

(She Who Must Be Obeyed and I escaped from the routine on Saturday and made the drive around the Olympic peninsula. She was sight seeing and I was scouting water and access points. We happened to catch this late afternoon vista from the north end of Lake Crescent in ONP. Wahoo.)
