Gift
When I was sixteen I would skip out of school early and go fish the Chattahoochee River. I really didn't know what I was doing but I was out there figuring it out anyhow. One day I was out and I got to talking to this a retired guy. He stopped fishing and took the time to show me what he was doing. Then to my surprise he pulled out a few flies that he tied and gave them to me. One of the flies was a wooly bugger concoction he called an "Anytime, Anywhere". To this day the Wooly Bugger is one of my favorite flies and his lesson that he gave me on the water has stuck with me for the past 26 years.
A few days ago I was fishing one of the local streams and I got to talking with another fisherman who is a piano tuner. This guy did the same thing and stopped fishing and shared with me what he was doing. He also pulled out some flies that he had tied up and gave me one. I have to say that I really appreciate it. I hope that I can do the same for someone else. For the piano tuner from Oklahoma City, Thanks.
