Fly Fisherman's Epitaph


Recommended Posts

Rick's thread on his mortality got me thinking. What are you gonna get on your tombstone, that is if you get one?

 

It would be cool to get a nice fly carved onto the stone somewhere, but to keep things light, I think I would want it coloured bright chartreuse so it stands out....

Tis' not a proud desire of mine,

I ask for nothing superfine,

No heavyweight,no salmon great,

To break the record-or my line..

Only a idle little stream,

Whose amber waters softly gleam,

Where I may wade,through woodland shade,

And cast the fly,and loaf and dream.

Only a trout or two,to dart

From foaming pools and try my art.

No more I'm wishing

old-fashioned fishing,

And just a day on Natures' heart. Henry Van Dyke circa unknown.
