It's NOT all about the fish.

Today was pretty stressful between exams and final assignments due before the end of the week. By the time classes were over I had to clear my head or I was going to snap. I drove home grabbed my waders, 6wt, streamers and set out to clear my head. While driving to the river I couldn't help but think of the feeling I get when I take that first step into the river to make a cast. All the Biology, Calculus, Writing, Grammer, Work, Bills, Deadlines; they dont matter anymore. Its like all your worries and problems drift down the river with the current and your free. When I tell people I just came from fishing, 98% of their responses are "Did you catch anything?" I smile and proceed to answer their question as honestly as possible"Ya I caught a couple" or  "No not today" but what they dont know and what keeps me sane is that I loose everything as soon as I step foot in that river. Everything is erased and you get to start the journey over again! What journey is that you ask? Its simple, Either the journey up river or down...
