Bead Headed Leech

"The first fly I make
In the Name of Christ,
King of the Elements,
The poor man shall have for his need;
And the King of Fishers,
He will afterward give me His blessing,
And still me for the crests of the waves..."
-David James Duncan, The River Why

Fly box filling. Hopes rising like trout to a fly. Tomorrow I will attempt a dry fly.
