Fly Fishing and Solitude

[RabbiEE]

A few thoughts from an article on solitude:

When fishing, I am always looking for that spot along the stream that is deserted. I leave behind the well known fishing holes, those with the famous names and stories of large trout rising to the fly. And instead I walk, hike and search for that spot on the river where the fishing may not be as good, but I can soak in the solitude. The places I crave are remote enough that my senses will only detect the sights and sounds of nature. The perfect spot is one where I see trees rather than other fishermen, and when I hear the sounds of rustling water, wind and crickets, rather than airplanes and cars.
