Go to your happy place...




Spending time in your happy place has never been more important than right now. In light of the current terrifying economic news it is easy to slip into an anxious daily existence. It's not good for your constitution. If you are unable to ditch work and physically make some casts, you surely need a few minutes of escape to get right. Fly fishing meditation. Fly fishing memories provide a perfect mental landscape for a mini-vacation inside your head.



Simply let your mind slip downstream to any one of those wonderful and sometimes religious memories of fly fishing. Whether that be standing waist deep in a steelhead run, stalking an impossibly large brown trout sipping on the bank, or reclined in the back of a drift boat listening and laughing as your fishing buddy recants the horrors of his last blind date. There are so many outstanding moments that fill the fly fishing life that recalling and reminiscing is far more effective than the mood leveling drugs your doctor suggested. Not only does it lower your blood pressure, it is far cheaper.



Fishing is an activity that is truly good for the soul. All your worldly worries can fade away as you morph into the subtle soothing sounds of absolute nothingness. Being able to access your happy place is so very easy and the immediate rewards are priceless.



Spend some time there...visit often
