There’s an old saying “Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.”
For Colin Ambrose, that means “Give Colin a fish, he’ll cook for you today. Teach Colin to fish, he’ll be hooked for a lifetime”…
…and he got hooked early, as a kid in Wisconsin:
“I got hooked. Not so much to merely cook and eat the fish – for me the tug is the drug. I dream about setting the hook, and patiently wait for the take, the rise, the tug. It’s a constant learning experience. Every time I tie a fly or tie a lure to my line, it’s never mastered, and always a joy to explore. Fishing is a process to be shared as well as a solitary adventure.”
