Out On The Lake

This rock wall is the landmark and entrance into our cove.....

Out of the cove and into the lake.....

The joy of fishing was well described more than three hundred years ago by Izaak Walton,

when he referred to angling as

"that pleasant labour which you enjoy,

when you purpose to give rest to your mind,

and divest yourself of your more serious business,

and (which is often) dedicate a day or two to this recreation."

Taken from "An Outdoor Journal" by Jimmy Carter

Fly-fishing in a small mountain creek or lake cove requires solitude.

So says Jimmy Carter.....

We idle along in our boat so as not to create a wake.....

It's just common lake courtesy.....

ssshhhhh.....

In the woods or on a stream,

my concentration is so intense

that for long periods

the rest of the world is almost forgotten.....

Jimmy Carter....."An Outdoor Journal"

During the most critical moments of my life

I have been renewed in spirit

by the special feelings that come from

the solitude and beauty of the out-of-doors.

More Jimmy Carter.....
