On the Athabasca.

I cast and reel, cast and reel, in an easy, timeless rhythm. The pulse of fishermen everywhere.

The water tumbles and flows. An osprey circles, dives.

A hundred feet or so upriver, another angler appears.

"Nice sweater,” she says and nods and I nod and we each throw the next cast.

And so the day goes on.
