GEORGE W. HARVEY American educator and renowned fly fisherman (20th century) At early dawn when the air is crisp   And you're standing knee deep in a beautiful rip     You see a trout rise to an unknown fly       Then your heart starts to thump and you wonder why         You're a neophyte fly fisherman.           You can measure the cast and study the lie             Then lengthen the line to make your first try               As you check the rod to get a good presentation                 You hold your breath in solemn anticipation                   You must be a fly fisherman!                     The fly floats gently on its way to the trout                       You know it will "take it" without a doubt.                         You're all charged up and ready to strike                           But the fly floats by because something's not right                             You are still a fly fisherman.                               You open your fly box and select a new fly                                 Then lengthen the tippet before the next try                                   Change your position to help with the cast                                     And hope you have made the right decision at last                                       Now you are a doubtful fly fisherman.       - A Fly Fisherman (first 20 lines),         in "Fly Fisherman" magazine, December, 2002         [Flyfishing] You wait a moment to settle your nerves   Then make your cast with a right hand curve     The fly settles down and the float looked good       But the trout refused it and there you stood         A dejected fly fisherman.           You looked things over and were not yet beat             Then changed flies again and were ready to repeat               The next try was poor because you rushed the cast                 You hold your breath in solemn anticipation                   You must be a fly fisherman!                     The fly floats gently on its way to the trout                       You know it will "take it" without a doubt.                         You're all charged up and ready to strike                           But the fly floats by because something's not right                             You are still a fly fisherman.                               You open your fly box and select a new fly                                 Then lengthen the tippet before the next try                                   Change your position to help with the cast                                     And hope you have made the right decision at last                                       Now you are a doubtful fly fisherman.       - A Fly Fisherman (last 20 lines),         in "Fly Fisherman" magazine, December, 2002         [Flyfishing] The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
