The Contented Angler
Shenandoah Flyfishing Pool 2
Most of these streams require some hiking. We are not experienced hikers, but we did okay. We are also not
professional photographers but it doesn't matter. How do you capture the feeling of laying on this sacred and
historical ground with the haunting sounds of the owl serenading you as you fall asleep. The history, the
hiking trails, the scenery, the sunsets, and standing in a field surrounded by deer rightly overshadowed the
fishing.

"But when man abides in tents, after the manner of the early patriarchs, the face of
the world is renewed. The vagaries of the clouds become significant. You watch the
sky with a lover's look, eager to know whether it will smile or frown. When you lie
at night upon your bed of boughs and hear the rain pattering on the canvas close
above your head, you wonder whether it is a long storm or only a shower."

We wish to thank Tim Runion of Virginia for his valuable advice on enjoying this beautiful part of the country.
