Thanks for your support for National Sporting Library and Museum! Like you, many will find their favorite place there. Besides the 20,000 volumes of old, rare sporting books dating back to 1550, there are exhibits of art that will leave you slack-jawed. Their standard would rival any National Gallery exhibit. I never thought I would be so enamored of a library and museum, but NSLM uniquely combines their collection with social fun. Their enthusiasm for like-minded friends of anything outdoors is remarkable! If the outdoors on a stream is your world, NSLM should be your home.

couldn't have chosen better passages here....there are others from Lyons, Hemingway, McGuane, Jim Harrison, Walton too and hundreds of others who feel the sanctity of these creatures and their natural cold water free flowing unobstructed environment

Yes indeed. We are truly fortunate to have such a bounty of words to choose from.

Nice. I love streams because they endlessly change as you walk or wade them, and because they change over time as storms and floods alter their course and deposit new tangles of fallen branches and globs of leaves that you must navigate, and under which trout find new places to live and hunt for food. It's a bottomless process, one of the few you can experience for yourself every time you come upon flowing water.

It is indeed a bottomless process, one that provides many, rich rewards. A process that, at least for me, is enhanced by the chance to dance with the natives.
