Hatch Worship

Pat Wray writes about the coming of the spring hatch and the concurrent emergence of awareness in the minds of fishermen. “News of hatches and bites requires no technological assistance; it transcends electronics, traveling directly from the mind of one fisherman to the heart of another. Oh, we’ll call friends and acquaintances for confirmation; we’ll check river levels and weather forecasts, but the decision is already made.” In the Corvallis, Oregon Gazette-Times.
