I enjoy telling this story and this is the perfect place to tell it. Amy and
I were fishing a stream about 60 miles north of where we live. Every
pool on this project had at least one angler and when another car
pulled into the lot I thought: "These guys don't have a chance." I'm not
sure what made me do it, but I asked Amy to go tell them they can
have this pool when they are ready. The man thanked us and said: "My
friend here has cancer and this was one of the few times I could get
him out fishing." I'm not sure if I caught any fish that day, but I know I
felt good for a long time after that. It was a day on the stream I would
never forget.
These things don't just happen. You have to make the first move with
your actions and make them happen. When you see someone who has
no place to fish, make room for them, you just don't know what their
circumstances are. Maybe it's their last fishing trip.
I don't fish Erie, but I admire those who have the courage to brave the
elements, including the human elements and risk life and limb to land
one of these great fish.
It's only a matter of time before those of you who are part of the
Contented Angler will have a day like I had and you will never forget it.

| Suggestion - "You will get more hits than your fellow angler by using light tippet like 6X, but the amount of time it takes to land the steelhead puts the fishes life in jeopady. The fish may swim away, but it will probably expire later or the next day". Joe Clubfoot |
