Alone

At last, the entire river to myself . The fish didn't seem to mind my presents and the egrets enjoyed my company being fellow fishers. The trout upstream eager grabbed my offerings and downstream they were leaping and fighting over whatever I chose to fling in their direction. Sensing the solicitude would soon end, I packed up and left. Leaving more than a few fish with sore jaws and a few put upstream to explore the broad flats and brushy undergrowth.
