THE NEXT TIME
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote, "To travel hopefully is better than to arrive." This could be written for fishermen, "It is better to fish hopefully than to catch fish." Fishing is hope experienced. To be optimistic in a slow bite is to thrive on hope alone. When asked, "How can you fish all day without a bite?" the true fisherman replies, "Hold it! I think I felt something." If the line goes slack, he says, "He'll be back!"
When it comes to the human spirit, hope is all. Without hope, there is no yearning, no desire for a better tomorrow and no belief that the next cast will bring the big strike.
