North Country Angling - Doughnuts and coffee

Doughnuts and coffee are just a part of the angling experience, along with stunning views. (LESLIE ANGERS PHOTO)

There is the memory of my dad sitting at the kitchen table and spooning coffee into my glass of milk and opening the paper bag and sliding a chocolate-glazed doughnut across the table. That was the “breakfast of champions” before we would head out on a search for trout.

The smell and the taste of Dad’s strong black coffee were offensive, and it did not taste much better. But the bonding act of sipping a small amount of coffee in the tall glass of milk made me feel like a “grown-up.”
