Lessons Learned on West Rosebud Creek

When you have caught your first fish,

you have caught all fish. Don't rush.

Let the hawk come between the sun

and the water. No reason to be the shadow.

Find boulders that battle the roiling

current. Cast into their quiet after-stream.

Carry your own pliers. You will never need

to use them unless you've left them in the truck.
