To each his (or her) own! May we all love and care for rivers in our own ways.
How much respect and love I have for DJD's writing. Thanks for the comment.

You are not alone. Jacques Cousteau has called catch-and-release angling a perversion. At least one fly-fisher has written about casting flies with the entire bend of the hook clipped off in order to enjoy everything except fish struggle and the bad parts about the hook-in-the-animal. Some, though, enjoy the wiggle ("Feed That Jones," Ted Leeson, The Habit of Rivers). Others (dimf included) like the communion of two creatures from different worlds consummated through touch. David James Duncan, asked why countless times, has an elegant and thoughtful reply based partly on his conservation ethic ("Agony and Hilarity" in God Laughs and Plays). Knowing that it is enough to love only the river because without it trout cannot exist, I will continue to hook 'em, marvel at their struggle to escape, and their exquisite beauty seen up close and personal, in my hand.
