| I am haunted by waters. |  |
| We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana. |  |
| My brother and I would have preferred to start learning how to fish by going out and catching a few, omitting entirely anything difficult or technical in the way of preparation that would take away from the fun. |  |
| After my brother and I became good fishermen, we realized that our father was not a great fly caster, but he was accurate and stylish and wore a glove on his casting hand. |  |
