Biography & Thoughts

baseball and fly fishing share several characteristics: they are very simple in concept. they reward careful attention at every level, but are possible to enjoy from the get go. as one matures in the sport, they become more and more delightfully complex while retaining the completely absorbing simplicity which drew one to them in the first place.
