Chasing the Tug: A Day on Crowley Lake with Mr. Long Valley Fly Fishing

After all my few experiences of fishing, I’ve learned that there’s only so much someone can teach you verbally. True knowledge comes from a mix of what you’re told, what you see in action, and then putting it all into practice in the moment. You’ve got to feel it for yourself. And each time I felt a bite on my line, my body began to memorize the steps, developing the natural rhythm of fishing…I’m already itching to get back on the boat, cast my line, and chase that addictive tug.
