“I have found that fly-fishing can be a state of mind still found in quiescent pockets of solitude the moment one has unlocked the secret code of knowing where to look. And for me a bamboo rod will always be the perfect mantra to help find the way. For those who seek, there is a path. “

Jerry Kustich, In Dec. 2021 Sweetgrass newsletter
