Where are currents meeting? I lift the fly out of the water, the rod resting loosely in my right hand. With my thumb on top of the grip, I hold it in line with my intended target. I move the rod up and backward, keeping the tip low. Then I raise it up and behind me, careful to avoid tangling with the flora. My rod...

Nothing could make me happier than seeing how much interest there is in baking right now, and especially bread making.
