It always fascinated me as to how fast time went, when fishing, 5am in the morning to 5pm at night seemed to fly by.

One of the best books I have ever read - A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean. In fact, I'm just finsihing off Excalibur and when I do I'll read it again. Sorry for the late reply, just back from a bun fight to celebrate my father's 81st birthday Best RC Jordan

All existence fades to a being of my soul and memories and the sounds of the river and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters. Jordan RC

Looking back on old fotos always sets the mind in motion, which is why I wrote this post some time ago about <a href="http://www.rodcollins.com/wordpress/will-digital-photography-ruin-our-heritage">losing our heritage due to digital photography</a>. RC Yeah

Writing the post you mention I came across a photograph of you, waist high in Brothers Water casting a fly. The photograph reminded me of what is truly important about photography, not the technical aspect but the purpose the picture serves. I am fortunate to own a very good camera with lenses to match and I cast a critical eye over every shot I take but this photograph was taken with a 'point and shoot' Canon Sureshot with no consideration to white balance, shutter speed and the like. My first thought was; 'That's my brother' the second, 'We had a great day together' Despite all of the mod cons I know posess I am yet to take a picture which affects me in the way that point and shoot has. You mention pike fishing, you may recall a post I wrote about our pike fishing days on the Ancholme and the photographs I took when I revisited the river, well, yesterday I found an old photograph taken from one of those days. The composition of the photograph was near identical, the exact bend of the river and its location escapes me but not the memory. Thursday 10th April serves as a timely reminder, methinks. LB Rod,
