This is really beautiful, and I honestly teared up at the part of Jon wanting kids to misbehave over zoom and how they deserve, especially now a chance to just be kids
A real-life fish story! So many good things in it, not the least of which are your gorgeous photos. That’s a gorgeous part of NY state. Your summarizing paragraph towards the end is terrific.
The photo of the box of flies reminded me of sitting in my grandfather’s work room, tying flies. Mine didn’t look like real flies (his did), but it sure was fun.
He didn’t sit with us—we watched him, then he left the room while we took turns tying ‘creations’. I think it sorely tested his patience (!) as we made unusable flies with his supplies. But how many little girls get to do that?

Amen amen amen, Matthew. 💚

Oh wow, Yvonne. I love the image of you and your grandfather tying flies together. Thank you for sharing! 🎣
