The video is great. It deserves recognition. However, even though I feel I get to the same emotional end-point, my path is very different.
I like fly fishing because I feel it favours the practical and the patient. My analogy is that fly fishing is like handwriting. At the end of the day, it is just letters on paper, but everyone's preference in pen, how they hold it, and how it looks is very different from person to person.
For the record, I have crazy messy handwriting, but it was enough to get me through 12 years of post-secondary education. It means very little to other people, but it obviously means something to me.
EDIT: Getting up at 4h30 is crazy talk. To me, it is all about the evenings, not the mornings.
