Timing has the final say in the hobbies I love most and often, in life itself.

Fly Fishing

• You can book a fishing trip months in advance. It doesn’t guarantee good weather.

• You can arrive at the water before anyone else. It doesn’t mean the bugs will hatch.

• And even if they do, there’s no promise the fish will rise to eat them. Let alone take the fake one you’re offering.

So many variables have to align just to create what looks, from the outside, like an unremarkable moment: a fish doing what it’s supposed to do.
