Nick, this was beautiful and timely. In the latter half of my fifth decade I echo your thoughts.

Your writing is, as always, eloquent. The image of the fly fisherman holding a rod in one hand and a cellphone in the other is unfortunately all too common. There is much to appreciate about solitude and the chance to listen to the quiet while out on the water. Thank you for the engaging read!

Is it possible? Are you Norman MaClean reincarnated? That read nearly identical in his spirit! Beautiful prose, whether it is you reincarnated or not. The only thing that gave it away was the reference to smartphones!
