OUTDOOR TRUTHS
The older I get, the more I enjoy the
small rivers around my area. I used to
be the lake type. I used to look forward
to the sport, and even the competition of
fi shing. That competition was not necessarily with other boats,
but it was as much with me. It seemed each time I went fi sh-
ing the score was zero to zero and each fi sh I caught or didn't
catch moved the score in one direction or another. I loved it,
but it seems now that I didn't appreciate it as much as I should
have. Don't get me wrong, my most memorable trips are still
the ones where I caught the most fi sh; except perhaps for those
where thunder and lightening were involved. But for the most
part the lake has provided some great memories. And I hope it
has more to give.
The river however, is another species. It calls for one to be
good at multitasking. If you spend too much time thinking about
catching a fi sh, you will soon be going through some rough
water sideways, and then upside down. Old Man River, over the
years, has collected from me, many anchors, a slew of baits,
and a few expensive rods and reels. And rarely does he give
any back. I can remember a few years ago, at nine-o'clock in
the morning, having to dive in to retrieve another anchor that
had come untied (it seems I lose about 3 of these each year).
The river does however provide plenty of sights that do serve
to feed the imagination. It's commonplace to see deer wad-
ing out into the more shallow areas and turkey fl ying from one
side to the other, and the ducks gathered into small pools. The
river is a kaleidoscope of nature; each turn provides a different
view; each view a different perspective, and each perspective a
different you. There's no doubt the older we get the more intro-
spective we become. I somehow think men are particularly this
way; at times to a fault. Thinking is good, but it shouldn't replace
conversation – only add to it. And for me, the river gives me the
perfect environment for both.
Maybe you are neither the lake nor the river type. Perhaps
your activities take you in other directions. And perhaps they
are so involved that you rarely have time to think about any-
thing, much less something of substance. These are fi ne, but
don't let them keep you from dealing with the weightier matters
of life. Just because we ignore them, doesn't mean they will
go away.
