Angling Quote by Clare Vanderpool

“Finally, Gunner spoke, his voice so fluid and moving, it could have come from the river itself. "I once hear a poem about angling. It say when you send out your line, it is like you cast out your troubles to let the current carry them away. I keep casting.” quote by Clare Vanderpool
