The fly fisherman

While exploring some rock formations just inside the Tennessee state line south of Damascus, Virginia, I came across this gentlemen casting his line in hopes of luring a rainbow trout. He was kind enough to let me take his photo despite the fact that his fishing expedition had been “slow” as he described it matter-of-factly.

The afternoon light highlighted this fly fisherman as he made another cast, ever the eternal optimist. “The fly fisherman” is my Photo of the Week.

Thanks for the photo! Nostalgia, for me, as I did some fly fishing in Western Pennsylvania, in the earlier 70’s!

Great, Marland. I hope you caught more than this poor guy, however.

  Actually, I did! Once I actually caught the meaty party of my eyebrow! 🙂 But also some trout!
