Be that the dip of the float, the tap on the rod tip or quiver, the dimple around the dry fly, or the pause on the travel of a lure. Nothing seems to get the heartbeat to quicken or the pulse to race more. No matter what your experience everything is crystalized in that split second. At least that's how it is for me.
Only when contact is made does the question arise is it a good 'un. This is the very essence of angling for me, and has sustained and kept me focused for over 60years.
