Fly Fishing Moody Pond
12yrs old
A rod, an extension of your arm
it’s early in the morning and the fog is still gently rolling off the pond
SNAP
bad day for a certain lunar moth or other aquatic life
I feel the energy being cast on my back from the fiery sun rising over the precipitous mountain to my left,
the fall foliage becomes clear on the undisturbed surface of the water
I tickle a dry coachmen over the glassy water
but suddenly the silence is broken
the serenity shattered
as a brilliant red flash of a rainbow trout destroys the fly
it runs with the fly in its mouth and threatens to snap the 4 pound test tip it
and I feel the raw power of its muscle resist
after a strenuous fight the fish is hauled out of the murky depths of the pond
I cradle it from the belly and remove the crimped hook and release it
to be caught again another day
