Few pastimes can compare with fly-fishing, once referred to by author Izaak Walton as "the contemplative man's recreation". The thrill of patiently casting a lure back and forth over a mighty river is a subtle yet refined diversion, requiring patience, but often ending in the reward of spectacular mountain trout.
