FOR THE LOVE OF LANGUAGE
I wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciate Anglers Journal. I love words, fish and photography, but there are other sources for those things. AJ revives the notion that the reason we take time to write the right word, to find and fool fish, and to capture something in two dimensions is because we’re trying to reconnect with the moment. I, for one, need encouragement (or, rather, permission) to slow down.
Comparing to other fishing to other fishing television. Flip Pallot talked about the moment; he didn’t present a dressed-up infomercial with an 837-to-1 gear ratio. The things you do and the decisions you make matter to me — and to many others, if your letters to the editor are any indication. Thanks for taking the time to laud language.
