On the Tracks


St. Croix Imperial 8'6" 5wt
Orvis Battenkill Mid-Arbor III
Scientific Anglers Mastery Series Trout WF-5-F
Norfolk Southern Timber and Steel

On my way to Trestle Pool
To fish the falling waters
Tramping down these well-worn rails
Towards another Smith River skunking

Fish or no
It's good to be out here again

    I need to do that soon. I'm starting to look and act like Jack Torrance in The Shining.

    Thank god I don't drink, much, for the most part, anymore.

    Thanks everyone!

    Ken, there's a lot of wafflin' going on in that Thank god I don't drink statement. :-)

    No Howard, I don't think you did post that already. You're not that old.

    Chris, just in time. No six piece here.

    Al, all the fishing report you need is the another Smith River skunking. :-(

    No Howard, I don't think you did post that already. You're not that old.

    Sanders, you know I did.

    No, Howard... oh, never mind.

    I thought at first that this was going to turn into a poem, and started thinking, "What rhymes with skunking?" :-) Dunking? You could expand on this in future posts...

    Love this recent series of poems. I'm not a poetry person but lately this form has been tugging at me. Maybe I just had to write enough so that the words have begun to run out and all that's left is the meaning.

    Wow. A perfect description of what writing these posts have felt like, Steve. Thanks for articulating it so nicely.
