Everything I Know About Fishing I Learned from Bears (Episode 1)


Go to the falls.
  Sit right against the rock under the water up to your neck. Fish jump up and sometimes come back down; this knocks them for a loop and makes them easy to catch.  Sit in the “jacuzzi”: the water is still in the middle and fish go round and round your calm center.  Sit against the wall, wag your head as you would to watch tennis; pick out the one you want and bite it.  If you have earned respect, through bulk or disposition, go sit on top of the fall, catch them as they fly, or just open up and let them come to you. 

If you lean enough
Into or against the flood
the river provides.
