When I was a kid, I was really fascinated by my father fishing tackle box. It appeared to me that he had the most wonderful and wide-ranging fishing supplies you could dream of. With his fishing tackle he could trick any fish there was, or so I thought. He had many different flies and lures, most of them custom and hand-tied made by him. No one bought their own fishing supply equipment in those days, except for the basics like fishing line. If you were a good fisherman, you made your own. It wasn\'t just a matter of quality, but of pride.
It looks like, with the rapid advance of fishing equipments, a lot of the sport has been taken out of it these days. I went on a fishing trip with a good friend of mine, a fairly wealthy individual who possesses his own motor yacht. He actually has a weather radar gear, a GPS fishfinder, and many other different kind of fancy equipment to find the schools of fish. With him, finding fish is not an art anymore. It is not due to instincts, of sport or luck. It simply is due to cold hard science - following the instructions and letting the technology do that work. To me, this takes all the fun out of it.
I talked to him about this, and he said it was just a matter of him owning more fancy fishing supplies than my father had. He said that had they offered GPS fishfinders in fly fishing shops in my father\'s time, everyone would have bought them. They wouldn\'t have spend time with hand tying their own fishing lures if they could right away know where to get the fish. I see things differently, however.
In my mind, what my father loved so much about fishing is the opportunity to commune with nature. Yes he was out there to catch fish, but in the process he had to discern everything on the stretch of river. He had to know every wave and what it signified, when the fish came out, how precisely to land the line, and which fishing equipment to use in which season. It was a thinking activity that concerned his whole being. In order for him to succeed at it, everything had to be done perfectly. It wasn\'t simply an issue of watching the radar and dropping a line. |
