Trout Fishing Adventure
(Guide: Marcello)
by Michael Escoubas

big water
rushing surging thrashing
cast the fly
splash! wham!
set! set! set!
set the hook
keep the fish’s head down
keep tension on the line
if he runs
let him run
reel! reel! reel!
keep tension on the line
wear him down
wear him down
now bring him to the net
don’t give him any slack
that’s it, that’s it,
bring him to the net—
he’s in, he’s in
hold him up
let’s get a picture …
snap! snap! snap!
