n Ohio, as the crimson reds, vibrant yellows and fiery oranges of fall turn to the drab grays and browns of winter, many fishermen hang up their rods and settle in for the cold season ahead. Now I agree, there is nothing like a day on a Lake Erie tributary in late October or early November when the colors are like the most beautiful tapestry you have ever seen! Those days are hard to beat and many consider it the pinnacle, if not the closing of their season. But, don’t be so quick to think that the onset of cold weather is the close of anything, especially fishing for Lake Erie Steelhead. Snow, flow ice, and shale cliffs adorned with magnificent ice formations…that is what “White Hot Steel” is made of. For some, those kinds of things are the call for a fire blazing and crackling in the confines of a natural stone fireplace with a nice elk or moose mount hanging overhead. I am no different except that a winter Steelhead excursion is always a precursor to the fire! A number of years ago when I started to fly fish, I quickly found that fishing in the winter was a great thing, and you didn’t even need an ice shanty to do it. I also figured that many an outdoorsman would settle for a soft chair, a cup of joe, and a nice fire over standing in a river waving a stick, which meant the river would be all mine! There are many things that I like about fishing the winter season. One is the ease at which wildlife stands out when contrasted against a fresh snow. If you think Cardinals are beautiful birds, you should see them when they are all fluffed out in their winter wear contrasted by a white blanket! It’s simply spectacular! How about the beautiful silence that is found on a still winter morning? Everything you hear echoes through the woods, from a lone Canadian goose in the distance to the irate calls of crows scolding a Great Horned Owl as they give chase, every sound resonates the greatness of God’s creation. And what makes all of that so cool and
John Oros, operations director at Geauga Park District. Post Photo/Patrick Robinson brings it all together is the sweet sound of running water. The bubbling, gurgling sound that comes from a nice riffle as it races past your boots or a nearby rock. Mix that with the whistling sound of a fly rod in motion, and you now know the song that is sung in my ear on a day in pursuit of “White Hot Steel.” Not convinced that this opportunity is worth your while? Oh, I understand your hesitation! But, one experience with Steelhead in this winter setting and it will be forever burned into your heart and mind as a great way to get out and with the bonus of getting fish. I had one such day a couple of years ago. A friend of mine, John Oros had expressed interest in experiencing the fun that could be had when you combine Steelhead with a fly rod and that was like saying sick ‘em to a dog. I mean, what kind of fanatical fly fisherman could pass that up? With little
hesitation I put plans in motion for us to hit the river. After some discussion, John and I decided that the nearest tributary would be the target and that we would try to hit it at first light before work for a couple hours. He had never fly fished for Steelhead before, so I took some time to teach him a few important yet basic skills. We only had a few hours due to the fact we would need to head for work sometime in the morning hours, so we moved as quickly as we could. I wasted no time and selected a nice run that I knew typically held fish and went headlong into putting my friend on something he would remember for a lifetime. It would be the perfect spot. No challenging presentations, no tricky casting techniques, it was as easy a presentation as you could get. Did I put him on fish? Absolutely! Did I give him something he would remember for life?

bet! But that took some time. As with many first time flyrodders, especially those in pursuit of Steelhead, fighting the fish can prove challenging. Many are converting from conventional reels (baitcasting, spinning, etc) that will fight a fish on the drag the instant a hookup is encountered. This is not so in the world of fly-fishing. A fly reel is a new monster to many fishermen because you have to learn how to “put the fish on the reel.” In conversational terms this means getting all the line to deliver your presentation (that is laying on the ground or on the surface of the water) on the reel so that the drag system can then begin working to your advantage. Sum it all up, it means that you and your fingers have to be the temporary drag until you can turn it over to the hardware you hold in your hand. The first mistake of many rookies is to hold the line too tight and with light lines and tippets, this can spell disaster. In fact, very few get it right the first time and in turn are disappointed by the flash of silver they see at the end of their lines as it breaks or the fly pulls out. John was no exception. Shortly after showing him the ropes, I left him alone to make quality drifts of his own. He was really starting to get the hang of it when I heard him give the shout, “I got one!” I immediately looked up and started wading his direction when my attention snapped to the end of his rod. It was moving quite violently
up and down as the fish began to roll and run. It all happened in mere seconds. As I began processing the movement his rod tip was translating, I could tell that he had the famous rookie death grip on the line. I tried to holler out “let the line slip through your fingers” before it was too late, but it was! Just then, SNAP…..no more fish! In the disappointed tone only a fisherman on the water can have, John said “had one.” I was as disappointed as he was! I knew his pain all to well in that moment, but did my best to reassure him that there was another fish in there with his name on it. While I was close by, I took the opportunity to capture the teachable moment and helped him to understand the importance of line tension immediately after hook-up. I told him that too tight was bad and too loose was bad, so find the middle ground. He understood all to well what I was telling him, so again, I distanced myself and let him do his thing. As I moved up river, I took note of how beautiful and crisp a morning it was. The snow on the ground had come over night and brought a freshness to the morning that was exhilarating. The songbirds sang harmonies that added depth to the chorus already in progress and the roar of water was as a tympani rumbling in an orchestra. As I was getting lost in the moment of reflection, I heard my friend fire off again. He hollered out, “I’ve got another one,” with great excitement. I immediately fired Continued on page 17

This picture is one of the oldest pictures I have of Middlefield. It shows the survey crew in the early 1870s surveying for the narrow gauge railroad that ran through Middlefield. The buildings are a hotel on the left and a drug store on the right, both built by Hiram Bishop. These buildings were located on the southwest and northwest corners of the intersection of Routes 87 and 608. The first train to come through Middlefield was in March 1874. It was described as a thing of beauty with its highly trimmed engine of shiny brass and nickel and yellow coaches with red wheels.

This is a picture of the same view, taken about 35 years later. The narrow gauge track had been replaced by standard gauge and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad now operates the line, having taken over from the Painesville and Youngstown Railroad. As you can see, the street had yet to be paved. At this time, the hotel is still operating, barely visible on the left, and the drug store is now operated by H. B. Caslow, having bought the business from previous owner E. L. Ford. The railroad operated for over 100 years, ceasing operations in the late 1970s.

Update
{ community interest }
village By Mayor Ben Garlich
The busy holidays are behind us and I am back to a more normal r o u t i n e. S c h e d u l e d meetings have resumed and all committees are back to business. At our last council meeting, Kirby Date (CSU) presented a completed market analysis for the Village of Middlefield. The delivery time was perfect, as the Economic Development Committee is beginning the interviewing process for a Middlefield Village Director of Economic Development. This analysis will be a very useful tool as this individual will proactively pursue business development and job creation that will complement our Village. To date, we’ve been fortunate; we have identified people with the passion necessary to promote Middlefield. These individuals Margie Wilber (owner of Write to the Point) and Kirby Date (CSU) provided exceptional value. Their efforts exceeded our expectations and the money was well invested. This April, we will be transitioning to a new Chief of Police. Chief Arnold Stanko was hired in April of 2012 with the understanding he would actively hold the position as chief for two years and then be retained as a consultant for a third year. He
was hired to take the department to the next level, get people trained, and bring needed policy and organization to the department. Chief Stanko has accomplished and exceeded these goals, setting high standards for our next chief. It was also the understanding, if things progressed as planned at the end of the two-year period Lieutenant Joe Tucholski would assume the position of chief. The lieutenant has completed extensive training in PELK and FBI school and is well prepared to assume his new role in April. We have added two new members to our village planning and zoning board. Edna Davis who has served in many governmental positions but most recently on our Board of Zoning Appeals and Nick Giardina, a longtime resident, who owns a business in our Village. I look forward to working with them this year. I want to thank Dan MacRaild for his past service and wish him the best. The other open position was created by the passing of Dennis Parton. Dennis was a tremendous asset to this Village not only with his service on the Zoning Board but the many other events he volunteered hours of time that benefitted others. I considered Dennis a colleague and a friend and will miss him. Remember to shop local and visit www.middlefieldohio.com.

A Win For Middlefield
For more than two years, the Middlefield Economic Development Committee (EDC) has been aggressively promoting the Village of Middlefield on a state and national level with the goal of attracting business and industry to the Village. As a part of this initiative, the Committee contracted Cleveland State University’s Community Planning Program Manager Kirby Date to develop a retail market analysis for the Village. With more than 30 years experience in community planning, Kirby joined a class of 20-some CSU students and completed this project to satisfy a real estate and economic development requirement for her master’s degree. On Dec. 4, 2013, each student presented their final analysis, was judged, and the top five were chosen to present/ compete before leaders of seven area real estate development companies at CSU. Kirby Date presented the retail assessment for Middlefield, won the competition and was awarded $1,500 of the total donated $3,500. At the January Middlefield Council meeting, Kirby presented the prize-winning market analysis. During the introduction, Mayor Garlich stated, “Kirby Date took on this project at a personal level; we hired CSU for a $1,000 and Kirby gave us a $10,000 value.” He added, “After reviewing the final analysis and hearing Kirby’s presentation, it has changed my mind-set about the direction this Village will take, allowing us to move forward with a refined focus. We now have a better understanding of the demographics and will pursue many of the proposed solutions. It has been our goal to set this Village apart as a place to live and to locate a business. This is another step in that direction.” “The goals for this study,” Date stated, “were to lay groundwork for the Village of Middlefield’s comprehensive plan, to identify opportunities for retail, to fill retail vacancies and to strengthen the businesses already here.” Middlefield Village draws from a Primary Market Area (PMA) of 515 square miles, with boundaries stretching several miles beyond Middlefield in all directions, encompassing a population of 61,000. Thirty percent are under the age of 18; 60 percent are ages 18 to 64; 13 percent are 65 and over, representing 25,000 households and averaging almost three people per household (national average - 2.64). Median household income is $54,000, and the Amish population, at approximately 14,000,
represents 22 percent of the PMA. Serving this Primary Market Area is Middlefield Village, Middlefield Township and the small retail area west of Middlefield in Burton Township. Middlefield has a population of approximately 2,700 people and employs more than 7,000. Of the total 1.09 million square feet of retail space in the Middlefield Market Area, approximately 0.116 million square feet is Amish owned. The local retail vacancy rate is 13 percent (national average - 5 to 10 percent). The former Ames store represents half and the next largest vacancy is the former Middlefield Hardware. Kirby used the Geauga auditor’s website and other resources to log a detailed inventory (size and type) of the 400 area businesses within the Primary Market Area. With help from the EDC, 100 visitors and 27 local merchants were surveyed. Interviews were held with 13 selected Amish and non-Amish retail merchants. Findings showed that area residents shop elsewhere (Bainbridge, Mentor, Chardon, Ashtabula, Garrettsville and Niles) for additional selection and services. Three markets, local non-Amish; local Amish and regional/tourists, were considered for the niche analysis. Area retail needs are: clothing, health/personal care, shoes and jewelry. Other needs to consider (with caution) are: electronics/TV, office supplies, auto parts, and building and garden supplies. The analysis showed this area is adequately supplied with restaurants, hardware, home furnishings and specialty foods. The primary recommended strategy is to attract outside shoppers by: creating a “Great Place” in downtown Middlefield; rebuilding the Main Street charm; accommodating overnight visitors; offering family attractions; growing the farmer’s market; connecting open spaces; promoting Amish businesses; encouraging and supporting local entrepreneurs, addressing local needs for clothing, selection/price and entertainment; through seeking creative, one-of-a-kind solutions. And proactively identify and seek businesses that will complement the area. This project has been a wonderful experience for me,” Kirby shared. “After working with small communities for years, this was an opportunity for me to understand more about how a community really works.” To view the Middlefield Retail Market Analysis visit www.middlefieldmeansbusiness.com.

By Jon Slaybaugh Business Tip #7 “Imagination is more important than knowledge” ... Albert Einstein Albert Einstein had a unique understanding of the power of imagination. Here is how Webster defines it: Imagination … the power of forming mental images of what is not actually present. Vision happens by allowing your imagination to run free! Imagination leads to ... Inspiration or VISION Inspiration leads to ... Creative Solutions Creative Solutions lead to ... Business Success You will not likely find your way to inspired solutions simply by what you know – it takes imagination, or dreaming of what might be! Vision is the framework which guides the choices you make, that determine the nature and direction of your company or organization. It is where you are going; what you want to be. You will either control your own destiny or you will be letting outside forces control it for you. Vision allows you to be in control. An organization needs a vision of the future just like the farmer plowing his field must focus on the end point to plow a straight furrow. Looking at his feet or the present, without an end point in focus, a
very crooked furrow develops. Or in the case of a business, a very crooked path towards an end objective. Lets talk about your ... Vision in terms of a sailing journey. Vision is the “view of a distant shore”, or where you want to ultimately arrive as a destination. It is what you want to be. It is the Passion that drives you. It is the essences of why you are in business. This is providing business … LEADERSHIP As much as being a profitable business should be an objective, it can not be your Vision. It is unlikely that you can build a profitable business without a vision for how you will create value for your customers. Strategy is like plotting your course; you know where you want to get but you need a map. It is writing a business plan or forecasting sales and profit for the next year, or defining the problems you will be solving. This is the ... MANAGEMENT part of business. Tactics are the day-to-day actions needed to stay on course. This is the machine that breaks down and what do you do? Or the customer that calls mid day with a crisis. This is WORK. Do not confuse doing the WORK with your need to provide ... MANAGEMENT and LEADERSHIP. Tactics are changing continuously, they are dictated by the day-to-day opportunities and issues. Strategy is updated periodically as course changes are needed; ... you are reacting to changes in your market, in technology and so forth. Vision the final destination; ... it remains unchanged over time, until you reach the final destination … and wish to start a new journey. The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. ~ Proverbs 14:15 Next time we will focus on the Vision and Mission for your product or service.
Brief
legal By Amy R. Turos, Esq. Q: Can I get a DUI while riding my bike? A: Yes. DUI, DWI, OMVI and OVI are acronyms have been used interchangeably, they all mean the same thing: operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A change in Ohio law that removed the requirement that a vehicle must be “motorized”, the current acronym “OVI”: Operating a Vehicle Impaired. It is now a crime in Ohio to operate almost any vehicle while impaired. This includes but is not limited to bicycles, horse-drawn carriages and several other types of “vehicles”. If you are over the age of 21 and your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)
and breath alcohol content (BrAC) is .08 or greater, you are being considered driving while impaired. BAC is the measure of the concentration of alcohol in your breath or your blood. If a police officer pulls you over or stops you, you have the right to remain silent about any incriminating matters. You have the right to talk to an attorney before making any statements or taking any test. Most people who are charged with an OVI are unfamiliar with their Constitutional Rights or Court procedures. I can help protect your rights and assist you with the Court procedures. Contact my office at 8132 Main St. in Garrettsville (44231) or call 330-221-3104 for a free consultation.

Middlefield Chamber Meeting By Lynnette Bramley The Middlefield Chamber meeting on Jan. 15 went very well. Nick Frank led the meeting and showed a movie about the East Geauga Kiwanis Club, what they do and their goals and projects. People trickled in for the social hour, and many were new attendees such as Sue West from Ace Hardware. Giant Eagle contributed some refreshments. Dr. Scott Hunt and new administrators from Creative Learning Workshop were there, making for a really nice mix. Rick Seyer did the speaker program and showed slides of the street cars that once went through Middlefield, Garrettsville, Chardon, Chesterland. He also had some good pictures to tie it all together, and the best part of that was that the streetcar garage was right next to the Olde Town Grille where Dollar General is
right now. Nick Hall gave out certificates of appreciation for efforts in furthering the Middlefield Chamber of Commerce to Kim Breyley, Judy Breedlove, Colleen Lockhart, Alan Unangst, Darrin Cook, Michele Lee and Lori Gorrell.

Looking Ahead
School is back in session and the feeling of the New Year brings hope for a brighter future at Cardinal S c h o o l s. I am looking back proudly at all of the work that our staff and students accomplished in the first semester and I am looking ahead to attaining the goals we set at the beginning of the year. The New Year always brings new changes and that includes our Board of Education. I would like to welcome Nancy Ferguson who took the board member oath at the organizational meeting on Jan.13. She joins Ken Klima, Board president, Wendy Anderson, vice president, Katie Thomas, and Andy Sefcik. Our board has engaged in some courageous work over the winter. They spent time working closely with me and Merry Lou Knuckles, treasurer to comb through our budget as we prepare for the future. We know that our five-year forecast is favorable ending this year. We are projected (and it is truly only a projection) to end in the black with $500,000 on the books. However, in 2015 we face a deficit of over $100,000. Our board took some courageous action at the January board meeting and transferred $150,000 to a special budget stabilization cost center. This will allow us to cover the projected deficit, and dependent upon the accuracy of our projections, will allow us to push out the need to ask this community to support a levy for another year. This type of action aligns directly with my vision for our district, that is to transform our current reality and reach greatness. Greatness comes with change. We are also looking at making additional changes in the schools to achieve that greatness. For example, Cardinal High School is investigating all aspects of what we offer students. The staff is currently engaged in looking at modifying the master schedule as well as the “beefing up” the rigor of our
course offerings making sure that what we provide our students guarantees that they are prepared to leave us for college or career. Also, Cardinal Middle School will engage in a similar discussion and align with what students need as the leave for the high school. The concept of greatness doesn’t apply just to our schools but to the community as a whole. We will be instituting a Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame and Athletic Hall of Fame program to recognize our alumni who have contributed to the school and wider community. In addition, through the efforts of the athletic department, we are looking to enhance our track and football field complex by investigating the feasibility of an all-weather track and turf field. Our plan is to raise money for this project. I am currently investigating how we can build our fine arts programming back into our system for next year so that our students have the opportunity to showcase their talents. Those examples are just the tip of the iceberg. As you can see we are working on many things to provide our students with the best opportunities available. One thing, that I recognize clearly, is that all of this work can’t be done in isolation. We do need the community to support us now and in the future. As I shared in December, we conducted a satisfaction survey and asked for input and feedback in some specific areas. I have collected the data and had it analyzed. I plan to share that information at the next board work session and then with our community. The most important action step from the survey process will be the forming of the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee. This committee will serve as a sounding board, input provider and communication mechanism for the schools as we continue on the path of transformation. I plan to institute this group sometime this spring. It is my hope that our community will be able to engage with our schools to bring about the necessary changes we need to make and to support us for doing the right things for our students. Please feel free to contact me via email scott.hunt@cardinalschools.org or in the office at 440-632-0261.

fascinating By Nancy Huth
Meet Claire Zurbuch
Often, an interest we developed as a child becomes the guiding force in our lives. Born in 1942, Claire Zurbuch grew up “playing” in his father’s hardware store in Loyal Oak, Ohio, near Barberton. There he developed a knack for building things and went on to study science at Kent State University. After graduating in 1964, he taught at Medina Schools, then returned to Kent for a Masters Degree in biology and in 1974 received an Education Specialist Degree. In 1973, Claire and his wife Kay, whom he had met at Kent State, moved to Huntsburg. At that time, he began working for the Lake County Board of Education as the director of the media center for their schools. During this time he produced four 16 mm films that were shown in local classrooms. The films dealt with science, American history and patriotism. In 1991, the Lake County administrators started the Porter Science Center where all third, fourth and fifth graders in Lake and Geauga public schools came to do science experiments. It was housed at the Auburn Career Center and Claire became its first director. Claire’s curiosity and love of children were a perfect match. Claire’s interest in helping others, especially children, found an outlet 25 years ago in the Kiwanis Club. He was president of the East Geauga Kiwanis in 1991 and has been chairman of the youth services committee since 1992. Besides chairing the club’s scholarship committee, you will find Claire each year at the Geauga County Fairgrounds where he co-chairs the Kiwanis booth and hands out those tasty pulled-pork sandwiches. Today Claire
“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” ~ Albert Einstein
spends a good portion of his time assisting Cardinal Elementary School teachers with educational science experiments. We’ve all benefited from Claire’s hobbies of photography and traveling. Claire said, “I usually enter a few photographs at Fair time and have won first prize several times. About 20 years ago, my photograph of a garter snake capturing a toad won best of the show.” He has presented programs on amateur photography at the Middlefield Library and even donated the photograph above the entrance to the meeting room. It is of all four seasons at Camp Whitewood. Last year, Claire’s wife Kay retired after 25 years of teaching biology at Notre Dame Cathedral Latin (NDCL). For their 40th anniversary they toured Italy, and then shared experiences and photos with us during a program at the Middlefield Library. Claire has always retained his childlike wonder for our universe and shares that sense of awe through his art. He’s an active member in the Samaritan’s Society at St. Lucy’s Church and a caring and sharing resident of our community.

I love working Opera and hear about the time a bat fell for homeschooling families such as the out of the rafters from above and onto the Webingers. Except when Victoria’s youngest music stand of one of the cellists. brother decides to use me as a jungle gym. This past month was my eighth season We’ve come to an agreement—lessons first, singing at Severance Hall in the Cleveland jungle gym time afterwards. Orchestra’s Christmas concert, and there Being a homeschool teacher, there’s have been many wonderful surprises each always something new. For another family, season. I am always delighted to look out I tutor the eldest daughter in art, social into the audience and catch a glimpse of a studies, science, economics and Italian. We few friends from right here in Middlefield. also include a monthly visit to the Cleveland I was very happy my voice held up for Museum of Art. This field trip is always a the Christmas party; the day before I had highlight for us, whether it’s seeing the just finished singing my sixth concert in two ancient Egyptian galleries, sketching the weeks! art of the Greek and Roman Christians, or Together at the Christmas party, Victoria and I sang all sorts of carols from places such as France, Spain, Austria, Denmark, Wales, and Ireland, as well as popular Christmas favorites from right here at home. The best Christmas magic started “A Modern Old-Fashioned Barber Shop” to happen when the band played; I got to 440-632-5865 see my 90-year-old grandfather and his wife Rick Seyer’s hours: of 66 years dance together.

Students of the Month for December Congratulations to the December, Berkshire High School Students of the Month! (l-r) Kelli Briggs, Jared Hinkle, Tony Aldridge, Amber Bowman and Miles Chapman
Berkshire and GGP Host Career Day On Wednesday, Jan. 8, the Geauga Growth Partnership, Great Lakes Cheese and the Berkshire Schools hosted a Career Day for the 11th grade students at the Kent State Geauga campus. The event was designed to equip students with the tools to source and apply for open positions. Donald Wayne McLeod delivered a dynamic keynote address which focused on how each of us are preceived. The students created their own LinkedIn accounts in the computer labs and learned about the pitfalls of social media from attorney Eric Johnson. Over 30 Geauga County employers attended and spent the afternoon interviewing the juniors. This day would not have been possible without the following people: Tracy Jemison, John Eppercht, Tamara Hagerty, Stacey Barbe, John Wilhelm, Georgia Klemencic, Shelby Spear, Kelly Timmons, Meghan Hull, Lynn Hunter, and Maria Koler.

revelation. After all, it hadn’t been all that long since I too had that fly rod revelation. He continued minute by minute in the fight as the fish would run and then charge back at him. Then the fish would hold low in the run, not wanting to show itself. Eventually the fish tired and in the matter of a few intense moments, a beautifully fresh hen was brought to hand. Smiles were the order of the day from that point on. A full video was shot and many memorable photos taken just prior to the release of this healthy fish. There is no doubt that the day was memorable, but to tag the best part of it would be hard. Yes, it was a first fish on a fly rod. Yes, it was with a friend. Yes, the conditions couldn’t have been better. But what made it truly memorable for me was that it was a day of steelheading on a river that on this particular day was all ours. No pressure, no sign of others and definitely no sign of life’s troubles. The day could have been summed up in friends, fish and a fly rod As fishermen in the great state of Ohio, we are truly blessed! Whether we are fishing for Steelhead in the spectacular splash of fall color, in a spring thaw sprinkled with wildflowers, or standing in bone chilling water with snow and ice adorning God’s creation, we are blessed to have the angling opportunity that we call Great Lakes Steelhead. Sure the tactics are a little different and the location of fish may change, but one thing remains constant - the fish are there, and they will bite when given the opportunity. For me, the opportunity to catch Steelhead in mid-winter is something special…something to behold and to cherish. If you haven’t ever braved the elements to experience “White Hot Steel,” then I encourage you to throw on that extra layer of fleece and lace up those boots, because the fish are biting!

back with, “let him have line if he wants it!” After all, I didn’t want to see John be disappointed twice in a row, so I erred on the side of caution. What an awesome morning this was turning out to be! Only on the water for a little while and already two hook-ups for my rookie friend. Again, I waded his direction in hopes of coaching him to his first fly rod Steelhead. I hadn’t taken more than a couple of steps when this fish did something that worked great in his favor… the fish made a blistering run for the lake. Oh yeah, it was good for getting the fish on the reel, but no sooner was the fish on the reel then it decided it didn’t like that direction. Yeah, you guessed it! He turned on a dime and charged up stream. In an instant, we went from lesson number one to lesson number two - reel, and reel fast! As the fish began to power its way up stream I urged John to reel as fast as possible and do anything and everything including changing his position in order to maintain a tight line. Now you must understand, not all guys I have spent time with on the water are the best at listening to my suggestions. Fortunately for me, a bright individual accompanied me on this day. One who listened and listened well. After the fish’s powerful charge back up stream he said, “Wow, fighting these fish on a fly rod sure is different than using a spinning rod!” All I could do was smile, grin, chuckle and agree with his newfound
