Anglers are optimists. Is there any activity on the planet where you can spend hours casting tiny pieces of fuzz in the hope that an aquatic dweller will mistake the fuzz for food? Or hours watching a small piece of plastic floating in the water with a bait underneath, hoping that the plastic disappears? Or motoring around a lake dragging a lure attached to a ball weight hoping to drag it close enough to a fish that will mistake it for food?
Being optimists, anglers are also dreamers. Fishing remote streams way back in the woods. Fishing for trophy wild trout in a remote pond. Traveling to waters that have always been talked about. Finding the Hex hatch. Or the Alder fly hatch. Hiring a guide to float one of the big rivers. Catching a record fish.
