I LOVE this post!! Although standing in the same water and catching the same size (maybe even the same one) panfish can get boring after a while, in the end, I just love to catch fish.
Exceptional stuff! I’m impressed as it is with the different skill levels I see in fly fishermen alone, but add photography WHILE fly fishing and it’s just a new dimension.
I’ve been using the Simms Headwaters chest pack for about a year and a half. It has worked well for me but I can see where people would really rather have a vest. I think either is great but the chest pack just seems to allow me to have everything I need right in one spot.
I’ve always loved Ross Reels in general and specifically my Ross CLA 2. I like that they offer you the chance to spend as little as you like for decent quality or go all out for the newest and greatest.
Brian,
I think I can understand the “funk” you mentioned in your 10/10/11 reply. Seeing the way someone like Abel lives can really call into question a person’s outlook on life.
I’ve often thought about the stimulation of today – stimulation that didn’t exist even 50 years ago (i.e. iPhones, computers, the internet, crappy television) and that still isn’t readily available in some areas such as Patagonia. And here you have a man who’s reached 90 years old perfectly happy without all these things we now think we can’t live without.
I’m sure somewhere there’s a salesman or a member of the younger generation that would say he’s missing out and just doesn’t know how good he could have it. But take a closer look: he’s got his 1200 hectacres to work on with his hands, animals/food/water he needs, beautiful scenery all around and water in which to fish. What he doesn’t have are the pain in the ass traffic jams, constant barrage of emails and texts, commercials pulling at him to buy something on tv and ridiculously awful non-important news stories on the internet. It appears he’s truly got all he needs. So you tell me, who’s missing out?
A trip to Patagonia is a dream I fear I’ll never achieve. In the end, if it does happen, I fear it will cause a “funk” from which I would never recover! It’s so awesome you got to experience this!
(Oh and I too normally keep my mouth shut)

I have worn Native Eyewear with gray lenses for about five years and I’ve always seen the fish well.
