a straw hat & basket

 
A straw hat and basket
7/08/10
 
with a straw hat and basket
i head for the river
with my fly rod & net
no waders, no fret
 
a basket of dries
spool of light tippet
the river so clear
i don't dare draw near
 
the beetle plops on the surface
i wait patiently on the ready
i know their out there
but where
 
a swirl to the surface
quick with my wrist
she fights her best
on my 7x test
 
 
a tan fluttering caddis i tie on
skittering across the water
a slap at the tan
a brook to hand
 
 
than at dusk
 blue quills fly about
a #20 parachute i select
boy, was i correct!!
