Show Notes

Opening day. The annual trip to the cabin. A first fish.

Within these experiences is the opportunity for ritual. And rituals simply consist of a series of actions performed according to a prescribed order. Maybe there is something that you've always done. Perhaps there is something that you've always done because it was what your father and grandfather did. Or, the friends that you go to the fishing lodge every year arbitrarily decided that some silly activity is what you do. So you do it.

All of these rituals add to the experience of fly fishing. They connect you with previous trips. They connect you with previous anglers.

They might not translate into catching and fish, but they're worth having around.
