The pursuit of flyfishing has taken me along many of the paths less traveled, places of exceptional natural beauty, wild, rich in fauna and flora. In the beginning it was all about catching fish and yet even then the seeds of consciousness stirred; a rudimentary sense of connection to the big wild earth crept into my awareness, to the wonders of the surroundings. Also now, the context within which my flyfishing takes place has become increasingly important enriching the experience, imbuing it with that extra little shine in the memory – a journey from the unconscious to the conscious.
