Every day on the water is a new beginning.

If you fly fish for any time at all, you’ll quickly realize that it’s Mother Nature’s show and we are all just day players. There are lessons around every corner and some of them are in humility. When you are able to accept that and fish for the joy of the bad days as well as the good, you realize, every day on the water changes you. Hopefully for the better.

I ran across this story by Devin Olsen on his blog at tacticalflyfisher.com. It’s great to see how a couple of the best anglers on the planet handle getting served on a tough day, and how they turn it around.
