As Norman Maclean’s father stated about fly casting, “it is an art that is performed on a four-count rhythm between ten and two o’clock”. The book, “A River Runs Through It” is still my favorite book for many reasons. For me, fly fishing is more than just a hobby and the book reinforces how it can be thought of as a religion. I love the quote, “that man by nature was a mess and had fallen from an original state of grace…As for my father I never knew whether he believed God was a mathematician, but he certainly believed God could count and that only by picking up God’s rhythm’s were we able to regain power and beauty”. I am fascinated by rhythm in nature. .
