Shadows

Post by Monts »

I was out luring for Chub today, on a club ticket I've had for 21 years now. Served on the club committee for a while and what an eye opener that was. The old guys are now sadly long gone, time catches us all. But I still have fond memories of those local guys, just general angler's. The meat and drink of a club, trotting a float for what ever came along.


So I looked down and saw my shadow on the water and it made me chuckle. Will this be me in years to come, when I'm but dirt and dust? Just a shadow of the past. Sometimes, I roam about and still expect to see the characters of the past, you don't really see them, but in my mind's eye, certain swims bring back a memory of different anglers.

To me that's fishing the memories.

Yep :grin: I may be a bit of a c**t, but I like the past.

I can relate to your thoughts, maybe it is an age thing.

I think your right Will, my Mrs did not like it, morbid was the word she used.
