From August 16 - 18,2023 story: Oh, the sun still hasn’t broken the horizon and I’m in the zone. I know how to get here. I am a desert rat but I’ve lived on the edge here and there and I know how to strip my attention down to the bone.
Shake shake shake…
Time for action!
The line goes tight!
I’m on!
The rod bends, I wind up and go tight holding the rod tip high. A couple of strips, wind backing up and I AM A CORBINA FISHER!
My skills are good.
I pluck the fly out, push him back under the blanket of water and I’m back in the hotel on my second drink.
