“Despite my mentors advice that I would never go to heaven fishing with a weighted nymph and a float, I took it up. (As an aside, it is now amazing to me how much of the advice from my elders in those days has not come true. I have not gone blind or deaf, despite some early teen advice to the contrary. The only time I was ever involved in a car accident, I was taken to hospital, but no one seemed to take the slightest bit of notice as to whether I had on clean underwear or not. I have, as yet, been unable to test the nymph and heaven advice.)” HeavenBitsGoneTakenSeaAdviceCarInvolvedRiversTestsBlindCleanFishesAccidentsContraryDespiteBoatLakesFishingHospitalsMentorOnly TimeDeafEldersFloatsUnderwearCar AccidentNymphsClean Underwear Author:Tony Bishop
