The mist rises from the river. Sunlight filters through the trees. A fly fisher stands knee-deep in the crystal-clear water. His rod arcs gracefully. The line whips through the air. A gentle plop as the fly lands on the surface. Ripples spread outward. A flash of silver beneath. The water erupts. A sea trout leaps. Droplets sparkle in the morning light. The battle begins. Rod bends. Line zings. Fish dives and runs. Angler plays with skill. Slowly tiring the fish. Finally nets his prize. A beautiful Salmo Trutta. Released with care. Memories made. Another day on the river.
