"The world of sport offers flashes of brilliance that linger in our mind: the grace  of the seamless turn at second for the double play, the airborne energy of a Jorandesque slam dunk, the daring precision of a soaring triple axle.  These moments of perfection transcend the contest, carrying us beyond sweat, muscle and competition to higher plane where physical effort becomes artistry.   Fly fishing offer the potential to find such movements in endless, ever-changing ways.  Perhaps it is the flash other strike, the elegance of a release, or the simple satisfaction of watching an unfurling arc of line.  Fly fishing moments are often solitary and fleeting, but the are deeply and some times inexplicably compelling.  To those who survive the trials of the neophyte-fatal cats, sodden waders and fishless days- to become fluent in the muted colors and dignified prose the fly fishing, know the magic it can work: a soul scrubbed clean of life's trivia, the experience of witnessing nature's subtle rhythms, the possibility of a perfect day."   "Fly Fishing Stories By Women" Edited by Holly Morris   Rick
