Pecking Order
The lowly worm fisherman
is despised by the lure fisherman
who is looked down upon by the fly fisherman
while all three are equally despicable
to the brown trout dangling at the end of the line.

lovely. Nice little ring to it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteClasses is fishing are merging rapidly, at least overhere in Europe where the numbers of fly fishermen and women are rising. Most fly fishermen have in their angling life been through the worm stage, passed the lure phase and tasted the fly. Are they then emergers? The trout would disagree, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteNotice the rainbow is not mentioned. This is because he only despised the first two.
ReplyDeleteNice.
