Haha I wanna kms again, why this mfer keep yapping...

I wish I could gather the courage to die.

Why do I have to keep living on this earth? Why do I keep suffering through this?

Wish I could just die.

How come nobody ever cares that I'm still traumatized as fuck? They keep saying move on, move on. I haven't even tended to the festering pain and wounds on my body and soul.

They just want to stop dealing with my pain. Or they just want to push their anger towards me. I never asked them to do this. I never asked them to deal with it. I just wanted them to show me love.

I dunno why I am born in such a state. Why did I get sexually assaulted? Why was I physically abused all my life?

Is there someone who could save me from this life entirely? I keep hoping to myself every time I'm alone.

But even my dreams are filled to the breams with nightmares and horrors. Anxiety to the max. Nobody ever cares.

The ones that care like my friends, they aren't around to care when things get tough. When I get abused again.

I just want to die, living in this place is just hell. Ever cycling purgatory that never ends.

What's the name of a trauma that keeps on reoccurring? Hell?

Because it's like PTSD that never heals. I got PTSD as my official dx but why does it never heal? I feel the same as when I was a small scared child.

Nothing's changed, in one of the worst outcomes. My parents beat me, my ex beat me. Life is also beating me...I keep on having that silly ass hope that some day, something will change.

But every year, my amount of energy left to deal with the bullshit is getting lesser and lesser.

I don't even have the energy to pull myself to the therapist anymore. No more energy to rebook the appointments, to schedule it, to save up the money to go.

I think I'm about to break, but my friend is starting to worry about the fact that I've been broken and on rock bottom for a long time.

He's the only one that knew so much, I dunno why I tell him so much.

I feel sorry for him, that I don't have the energy to buy his bday present yet. It's about to be 1 year since his last bday, I'm 3 months fully shut-in.

I haven't been to the store to buy his bday present. This week is his bday again. Years pass by like fucking flies; so noisy, bothersome, I wish it would end.

Or maybe I want the suffering to end, but at this point, I think it'll be a mercy to stop hoping. Stop begging, stop praying.

I prayed to the Goddess of mercy to allow me to eat when I was at my worst; 20 mins after I ate the damn ¼ of a cookie, I puked it all out.

What was I even praying for?

I wish my ex left me sooner. Before he went to publicly shame me by hugging another woman and letting that woman blow smoke in my face, both of them laughing.

Go to hell. Why must I be the only one living in hell? Why can't he suffer too? I don't want to wish good for him, I can't forgive.

I need to go to therapy and eat meds, those were the only times I felt in control of my life. When things were going somewhere. I had control over my emotions, my state of being, my trauma and my defence mechanisms. Now I can hardly pull myself to brush my teeth or shower. Can't even get out of bed sometimes.

Now I can't even grasp whatever the hell I'm feeling, everything feels so suffocating. It's so difficult to breathe. Everything is so difficult, I'm so tired. I want to cry but there's no more tears. I feel so constipated emotionally and so filled with vengeance and grief.

It's killing me from the inside.

Fly Fish Food Small Stonefly Chenille

A small-sized, variegated chenille that blends black and brown with a variety of other colors. This smaller sized chenille is perfect for creating multi-colored chenille bodies on a wide variety of panfish patterns. Upgrade the look of your Bream Killers, Bully Spiders and any other chenille bodied panfish flies!

The original use of this chenille was to create great looking stonefly nymphs. If you fish for trout or use stonefly nymphs for smallmouth bass you need this chenille in your fly tying kit!

Paddle Fishing crucial Florida's Spring Creeks

Geology blessed critical Florida with a number of spring creeks, together with the Wekiva River (simply mins far from Orlando), and the Salt Springs Run, the Alexander SUP Paddel kaufen, and the Juniper Springs Run, all in the Ocala countrywide woodland. All of those creeks offer delightful float fishing with the aid of canoe or kayak on beautiful, crystal clean waters for bream and largemouths, in ecologically rich environments.

each stream is precise, but they share many bodily characteristics. The rivers every begin as water wells up out of a hollow inside the ground, frequently a primary magnitude spring. This water is very clear, with a steady year spherical temperature of 72 ranges Fahrenheit. these spring runs assist a lush boom of plant life together with water lilies, bulrushes, greenback weed, cattails, pickerelweed, arrowhead, eelgrass, and different flora.

these kind of plant life offer a large, solid food base for a extensive form of animals. As you flow you'll be distracted out of your fishing by an expansion of birds along with ospreys, turkeys, limpkins, herons, ibis, and egrets. Otters, alligators, turtles, and other animals are frequently visible, too. massive numbers of minnows frolic within the shallows, and similarly massive numbers of aquatic bugs, crayfish, and different fish forage locate refuge in the vegetation.

you may assume there to be big numbers of bass and bream to which you could forged. you will be proper. no longer best do those creeks hold respectable fish populations of their own, however fish also come into these streams from the St. Johns River to spawn, increasing fish populations on a seasonal basis. Striped bass additionally enter a number of those creeks, wintering in a few and summering in others.

You need a canoe or kayak to fish these streams. Wading is possible simplest on sand bars or wherein hard, white sand backside exists, for instance in a number of the meadow sections of the Rock Springs Run. In maximum different locations thick deposits of sediment carpet the bottom, making wading hard at first-class. Even those wadable sections are reachable only through paddle craft.

What tackle you need depends on what type of fish you favor to capture. Fly fishers will need a three- or four-weight outfit for panfish, or a seven-weight for bigmouths. Floating strains are favored.

A wide form of flies can be used to take each bass and bream, and the most effective actual distinction among the flies used for these species is the scale of the hooks they are on. Fly fishers will need flies on length 6 or eight hooks for bream, and on size 1, 1/0 or even larger for bass. The bass frequently take the smaller baits used for bream, and by the use of big baits you leave out out on quite a few the a laugh you would have catching the smaller fish.

I select the use of floating flies but you ought to carry some subsurface styles for days when fishing is gradual. Poppers, sliders, sponge rubber spiders, and Muddler minnows make up an amazing, easy surface fly selection for bream. Rubber hackle on the spiders and poppers may be very critical. if you tie your personal flies placed weedguards on some of them to assist reduce hang-ups. deliver more flies because you may lose a few to the flora. every now and then a large fish will burrow into lily pads and destroy you off, too.

For subsurface flies a few small Clouser minnows, wooly buggers, sinking rubber spiders, and buggy searching nymph patterns like those used for trout will all be taken eagerly via hungry bream. once more, something to deter weeds will show helpful, and extras will be needed to replace the inevitable losses.

A massive choice of subsurface bass flies is not wanted. more than one weighted crayfish imitations, a couple of streamers, and some weighted eelworm styles make up a small however powerful selection. All of those flies need weedguards. they may be worked in and round aquatic plants and fallen bushes.

Spin fishers are first-rate served with an ultralight outfit for bream, and a ten pound outfit for bass. Spin fishers concentrated on bream will want lures like micro-plugs, road runners, beetle spins, crappie jigs, and different similar small fare. For bass, jerk baits and plastic worms paintings properly and may be labored thru the thickest plants. A popper or other surface plug may additionally are available in reachable.

no matter what kind of address you choose, carry plenty of extra baits. you will lose some in the vegetation.

while you will on occasion get big fish, the bass in those streams tend to run small. there is sincerely no want to use heavy address and huge baits unless you certainly are interested by simplest large bass. those large fish will take your little bream baits often enough to hold you inquisitive about the fishing. The simplest trouble with hooking a nice fish on light address is pulling the huge guy out of the weeds with a little rod after the hookup.

As you float down these rivers the move's individual changes. you may skip through open, meadow-like stretches with shallow water and thick growths of aquatic vegetation. Jungle-like stretches with the circulate flowing through close to-tunnels of bushes and striking vines follow. The water here is deep and dark. I just paddle through these jungly locations. The streams right here are slender and overgrown, making casting hard. I see few fish in these locations besides. Why waste time fishing barren water?

The places to fish are the sunlit shallows. The fish thrive inside the lush boom, finding food effortlessly. work the edges and wallet inside the plants as quality as you could, paying particular attention to snags and blowdowns alongside the bank. Overhanging trees or cut banks frequently hold the largest fish.

I choose floor baits truely because the visuals they provide make fishing greater a laugh. these are solid as close as possible to edges of any type, modern-day seams, drop-offs, docks, fallen bushes, or other structure and allowed to flow freely with a minimum of "retrieve". some experimentation is needed right here although. a few days the fish need greater motion of their lures than different days.

you'll find mainly that casting accuracy is a good deal more important than distance right here. Fifty foot casts are as lots as you normally want, and most are shorter than this. inside the clear water the fish can see properly. maintain your motion to a minimal.

an excellent sidearm forged that may pass a bait below overhanging flora may be very powerful. The more right water you cowl the better are the odds of having a strike.

You need not cast blindly all of the time. while the fish are feeding actively you will hear them breaking the floor, and see them jumping after dragonflies and other bugs. I often stand in my canoe so i can see better. Sightfishing for bass is uncommon, however it may be finished in those creeks. wear earth tones or even a terrific camo pattern to keep away from spooking the fish in case you choose to use this approach.

you can often see each bass and bream beds within the stream. locating a set of loads of energetic bream beds packed right into a small vicinity of circulation is a subtle clue that fishing may be rapid and furious for some time. Anchor a comfortable casting distance away and paintings your bait along periphery the beds at the beginning, Premium SUP Board farther into the mass as fish on the outer beds get caught. that is bream fishing at its finest, aggressive fish that hit on almost each forged.

A subtly colored paint activity at the canoe is a superb idea. 4 folks floated the Alexander Springs Run recently in two canoes. Mine is a drab mild inexperienced, the alternative one became vibrant crimson. We caught fish after fish, they stuck not anything. There might also were other factors at work here, but it is an amazing idea to be as discreet as feasible with each your apparel and your watercraft.

attempt fishing one of imperative Florida's spring creeks. you will love the herbal splendor of those streams, and could find catching forty or fifty fish in a day a welcome novelty.

The Types of Fishing Rods to Use for a Particular Fishing Activity

Choosing the proper fishing rod is one of the most important, yet often overlooked by a lot of anglers, both beginners and experienced, factors in having success out on the water. Being able to place your bait in a precise location, without spooking any fish, can have a huge impact on whether or not you are getting bites. Use the wrong rod and you might not be able to cast as far or accurately as possible. Use the right rod and you can land a cast on a dime and work your bait the way it was intended, which will also produce you more bites, catches, and fun.

As you might probably know, there are different types of fishing rods for sale in the market. These fishing rods have different functions from each other, even though their main use is to catch fish. But with so many types of fishing to catch various fish species, you need a rod that can accommodate those activities. Some of the common fishing rods available are:  

Spinning rods

Spinning rods are the most common type of rod found in the hands of fishos of all skill levels. A spinning reel is fitted underneath the rod making it a very versatile rod and reel combo suitable for lure casting and bait fishing. Depending on the weight class of your setup, a spinning rod can be used to target a wide range of small to medium-sized fish species from the shore, and they are well suited to small boats such as the Stabicraft Explorer boat or kayak or dinghy.

boat and kayak fishing.

Baitcasting rods

Baitcasting rods are a great alternative to spinning rods, as they’re quite versatile, but recommended for the more experienced fishos. Amateurs can very quickly be turned off by a baitcasting rod and reel combo because, without the proper handling, they are prone to tangling on the spool. But for an experienced angler, they offer even greater accuracy when casting and more control when handling a fish.

Overhead rods

Overhead rods are the classic boat fishing rod. They are engineered to work in perfect unison with an overhead reel and are usually slightly shorter and more powerful than casting rods. They’re made for fighting big species of deep-sea fish and sportfish. So, when you’re out in the ocean in your Seacruiser boat looking for game fish, just drop your line and wait for the bites to come.

Surf rods

Surf rods, as the name suggests, are designed specifically to suit surf fishing (but they’re ideal for fishing off rocks as well). The longest of the rod family, surf rods can be up to 4-5 metres long and are used from the shore to cast extremely long distances past the breaking waves to where the fish like to feed. Surf rods are usually used with big eggbeater reels to tackle big fish and cope with the added weight when pulling your catch in through the waves. To transport them easily, surf rods can be broken down into multiple pieces.

Fly rods

Fly rods are specifically designed for use with a fly reel when fly fishing. Fly fishing is very different to other traditional forms of fishing. It’s often compared to hunting, where stealth, patience and a whole bunch of skills are needed to cast a fly to mimic what the species is feeding on.

Fly rods are not just geared up for trout fishing in mountain streams and freshwater lakes; rods, reels, and lines are abundant, and flies to suit fishing everything from bass to bream, barra and beyond. If you're interested in learning more about fly fishing, we've got some great tips for beginners.

Kids rods

The first thing to consider when choosing a fishing rod for a child is the size. If the rod is too big for your kids to handle, they’ll become frustrated and may lose interest. While target species and fishing environment should still factor into your decision, an all-rounder rod, or rod and reel combo, (such as a light, spinning rod and reel combo) is usually a good choice when buying for kids; after all, it will probably need to be replaced with a larger model as your child grows.

If you still have match ups can I get a small scenario for stranger things?

I’m a non-binary femme with no real perference male or female wise. I have long brown wavy hair that’s pink at the ends and bluish-grey eyes that don’t actually work so have cats eye glasses. Im a bit on the chubbier side but I’m fine with it.

My personality is people call lovingly abrasive, like I’ll call people out on their nonsense but not be cruel about it. If people let me I’ll dote on them but that includes listening to my interests. I’m pretty loud by default. Most of my hobbies include some form of craft with my favorite being dice making and I usually have multiple dice in my pockets. My other hobbies include figurine making, writing, drawing, baking, and sewing.

i match you with...

robin buckley!

the first time robin saw you, she thought you were adorable.

plus your cat eye glasses? robin’s been shot right through the heart with cupid’s arrow.

robin is also the type of person who calls people out on their bullshit. sometimes it’s lovingly, but other times the words just fly out of her mouth before she can process what she’s saying.

robin quite literally melts into a puddle when she listens to you ramble because as we all know, she does that herself.

she maintains dead eye contact and is an active listener, nodding here and there while also asking questions about whatever you’re talking about

when you sit and listen to robin? time flies over both of your heads.

seriously, when you two spend countless hours in the band/art room sitting and loudly talking to each other, it starts to annoy some of the teachers

steve has burst into the room numerous times, calling for you both and saying, “wrap it up you two. mr. brenner is threatening to lock you guys in.”

once robin realizes that she’s rambling for the nth time, she stops mid-sentence and goes, “aaand i’m rambling… sorry.”

when you reassure robin that it’s okay for her to ramble and that you enjoy it, she clutches the spot where her heart is and murmurs, “oh god… i think my heart’s gonna explode…”

whenever robin’s free, 9 times out of 10, she will join you during your arts and crafts or baking session

she does have trouble sitting for long periods of time, but she usually keeps herself occupied by doing some arts and crafts of her own if she’s up for it

if she isn’t doing arts and crafts, robin will pull out the dice set you made for her.

they’re one of her favorite things because on the inside, they’re hollow and have small bells inside, so the sounds that they make scratches her brain in a good way

if you’re doing figure making, robin will do her best to stay quiet as she knows you need to focus, buuut that usually doesn’t work out

robin definitely has pleaded for you to dye her hair, and she’s asked numerous times if she could help you dye your hair too :D

“where is it, where is it…”

you glanced over to where the dirty blonde was hunched over, rummaging through the backpack she always brought whenever she spent the night. “you okay there ‘bin?” you questioned, looking up from your sketchbook. “i can’t find it!” she huffed, shaking her head. “find what-” “aha!” robin pulled out a large rectangular box, the bright red ‘LEGO’ logo catching your attention. “is that why your bag kept rattling on the way from school?” you chuckled, closing your sketchbook and setting it on your nightstand with your pencil. you stood from your spot on your bed, heading over to your workspace that was pushed up against the wall.

“maybe…” robin smiled, meeting you at the desk. “but look! it comes with a tyrannosaurus rex, triceratops, and pterodactyl.” she breamed, giving the box a small shake before setting it down. “did you know pterodactyl is just a nickname for them?” robin asked, watching as you began to open the box and pull out the baggies full of lego pieces. “really? what’re they actually called?” you smiled, glancing at robin before thumbing through the t-rex instruction book and using your middle finger to push your glasses up the bridge of your nose.

“pterodactylus! it’s so dumb, like, why’d they remove the two letters? there’s literally no point.” the dirty blonde huffed as she opened the bag containing the t-rex parts, her tongue poking out the corner of her mouth.

a soft laugh slipped past your lips, “yeah? that’s kinda like saying be calling you ‘bin is dumb because i removed the two first letters from your name.” robin dropped the lego piece onto the tabletop, her head snapping to you and eyes blown wide. “wait-! nonono, i meant whoever named the pterodactyl and decided to cut off the last two letters is dumb! not you!” she squeaked, shaking her hands worriedly. “pfft…” you slapped a hand over your mouth, your body shaking with silent laughter. “i’m just kidding robin, you are adorable.” you beamed, looking at the dirty blonde.

a sheepish smile spread across her lips, robin giving a nervous chuckle as she rubbed at the back of her neck. “haha…” she murmured, ducking her head slightly as her eyes darted away from you. “of course you were joking. i’d never call you dumb, you know that.” you gently nudged her arm, holding out a lego piece to her while your other hand held the open manual.

Letter two: I want to know all about you more

(Rengoku Kyojuro x Reader)

Summary: You've been spending time with Rengoku lately, even though you already see each other in person, you and him would exchange letter...

Admin's note: Welcome to part two my lovely Rengoku stans

----

"Caw!! Letter from Rengoku-san, Caw!!"

You stopped swinging your sword as (crow name) flies towards you, you extend your arm so that the crow could land on your arm as you take the letter around its neck and caress their head with your finger "Thank you (crow name)"

Lately you and Kyojuro has been spending time with each other, you really enjoyed his company, his cheerful persona and smile shine brighter than the thousand suns make you feel comfortable with him, few days ago, you take him to enjoy some sweets at nearest teahouse together.

You carefully opened the letter

There's a pressed crocus flower...

You smiled and read the letter

Warmest greetings to you, (last name)!

How have you been doing? Good I hope? I want to thank you for taking me to lunch that other day, it was very lovely.

I'm writing this letter because I would like to know more about you, I would like to see eye to eye with you as we learn each other, but you know how it is, a duty call, so I will tell you about myself through this letter.

I am, as you are aware, a flame pillar, the Rengoku bloodline were well known amongst the corps as renowned flame pillars and a demon slayer, from my ancestors, grandfather and my father and then me! But let's leave it at that for a while.

I also have a brother named Senjuro, and he's amazing! I'm pretty sure you and my brother would get along very well if you two met! Should you require, I will gladly arrange a meeting for both of you.

Ah, and I like to eat sweet potatoes also a salt grilled bream! They're the best to eat especially baked sweet potatoes! They tasted amazing!! You and I should have those when we have some free time, I assure you that you'll like it!

If you have some free time, don't hesitate to come to my estate! I also would like to know how strong you are and maybe we could have a friendly spar as well.

That's all for now, I regret that we can't see each other for now, but I will make it up to you.

Best regards,

Rengoku Kyojuro.

You smiled as you read the letter, you rushed inside to write a reply for him, with a brush in your hand, you carefully and delicately write a reply...

Warmest greetings to you as well, Rengoku-san.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the luncheon we had few days ago, I must admit I do enjoy your company and I look forward to another luncheon with you.

What kind of flowers does Rengoku use this time?

Crocus flower it radiate cheerfulness.

Rupelramphastoides knopfi

By Ripley Cook 

Etymology: Barbet from the Rupelian

First Described By: Mayr, 2005

Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Maniraptoromorpha, Maniraptoriformes, Maniraptora, Pennaraptora, Paraves, Eumaniraptora, Averaptora, Avialae, Euavialae, Avebrevicauda, Pygostaylia, Ornithothoraces, Euornithes, Ornithuromorpha, Ornithurae, Neornithes, Neognathae, Neoaves, Inopinaves, Telluraves, Afroaves, Coraciimorphae, Cavitaves, Eucavitaves, Picocoraciae, Picodynastornithes, Piciformes, Pici, Ramphastides?

Status: Extinct

Time and Place: Between 31 and 30 million years ago, in the Rupelian of the Oligocene of the Paleogene 

Rupelramphastoides is known from the Bott-Eder Grube-Unterfeld Quarry of Baden-Württemberg, Germany 

Physical Description: Rupelramphastoides is the oldest known barbet-like bird - the barbets being a group of tree-dwelling birds that includes the iconic Toucans, though most barbest don’t have nearly as impressive beaks. This bird resembled its modern relatives in a lot of ways, which is notable given how old it is (still in the Paleogene, aka the first period of the time of modern birds). However, it is also one of the smallest members of the group overall, with very long and slender bones in its foot like modern toucans. Still, it had a small beak - more like non-toucan barbets - and a much smaller size than the living toucans. It had long and narrow arm bones but shorter fingers, giving the wings a more squat appearance at the ends. In general, its legs were slender, as were its toes, so perhaps Rupelramphastoides represents a transitional form between most barbets and the very weird toucans, though this is just conjecture. It probably wouldn’t have gotten much longer than 9 centimeters in overall body length, and it had a small head with a robust triangular beak.

Diet: It is uncertain what Rupelramphastoides ate, but like living barbets and toucans it probably mainly ate fruit, with mainly some supplementing of its diet with insects.

Behavior: Rupelramphastoides would have probably spent most of its time in the trees, hopping around and walking from branch to branch in search of food. It then probably would have stretched about to try and get food, using its beak to chomp into berries and other fruits. It could also use its long and skinny legs to stand up tall and reach food that it couldn’t otherwise. It probably lived in small flocks rather than big ones, and took care of their young. They also probably didn’t migrate. Like other members of the Pici, it was probably at least somewhat brightly colored, and used color in display to one another.

By Scott Reid

Ecosystem: Rupelramphastoides lived in a coastal/bay area, filled with estuaries and streams leading out into the ocean. This was a very lush habitat, filled to the brim with plants from algae ferns and cycads; to conifers, palms, roses, asterids, beeches, oaks, and cypresses. This dense coastal forest transitioned into water-based plants, and its possible there was some sort of a coastal swamp (a proto-mangrove swamp, even?) in the area. This is fascinating as this habitat existed just at the time of the global rainforest collapse, and the transition of the world into more varied and arid habitats - clearly, this particular coastal swamp was not hit by this event. Dozens of kinds of fish lived here, including things like trumpetfish, boarfishes, eels, ladyfish, sea robins, rockfish, shrimpfish, pipefish, sailfin moonfishes, halfbeaks, sea breams, weevers, and so many others that I just have to stop now. There were sharks and rays present as well, though not in as much diversity as the ray-finned fish. Insects such as beetles, flies, and butterflies were present, as well as spiders, crustaceans, snails, slugs, clams, oysters, and other invertebrates. Plenty of turtles were also present. Mammals were rarer in this habitat, but included extinct relatives of modern sea cows and bats; and a predatory Hyaenodont named Apterodon. Many different kinds of dinosaurs lived here alongside Rupelramphastoides, including the early hummingbird Eurotrochilus, the buttonquail Turnipax, the tody Palaeotodus, the (rare example of a) fossilized songbird Wieslochia, the mousebird Oligocolius, the trogon Primotrogon, the loon Colymboides, and the seabird Rupelornis that vaguely resembled modern albatrosses and petrels. In short, you could see a wide variety of ocean-going and tree-dwelling birds, as one would expect in a forested esturary area, and Rupelramphastoides probably mostly had to worry about predation from they Hyaenodonts in the area, rather than other birds.

Other: The exact phylogenetic affinities of Rupelramphastoides are very murkey, because a phylogenetic analysis has never been done on this dinosaur. Morphologically speaking it seems to be somewhere in the Barbet-Toucan clade, with similarities to both non-toucan barbets and the toucans, but it also has traits of other members of Pici such as the honeyguides, piculets, and woodpeckers, and so it can’t really be confirmed as a member of Ramphastides for now.

Fishing pole, commonly made from split walking cane, are these days constructed from a range of products, including, fiberglass, carbon fiber, or graphite. Bamboo poles remain to have traditionalist allure yet are delicate in contrast with rods made from modern products. Today most fly fishermen favor carbon fiber or graphite. Larger poles are required for fishing in fast water, browse, or saltwater.

Attractive flies do not always appear like target, however instead job by provoking the fish's instinctive assault reaction with intense and also shiny colors, long twitching fibers (banners), or producing disturbance in the water as they are pulled through it.

Once you have actually equipped yourself with your fly fishing deal with, you'll need to discover to cast. The objective is to land the fly as gently as possible, so it appears all-natural and also does not frighten the fish, therefore the fly wanders naturally with the water.

For damp flies, you will certainly want to use an actors such as the tuck cast, which puts the weight of the line in addition to the fly, so it sinks swiftly.

There are likewise specialized casts, such as the roll, sidearm, and also Spey casts, which are intended for problems that do not provide adequate room for a routine actors, such as high-walled streams, looming trees, or crowded locations.

One day, one rhyme- Day 1958

On Melinta, everything’s glass-

The trees, creatures, even the grass.

They’ve glass flowers, tiny and bright,

A glass sun rains down morning light

And glass bumblebees wings reflect

Like crystals, all by light is flecked.

By a flowing pebbled glass stream

Where glass pike swim beside glass bream,

Slender glass trees reach toward skies

Of serene blue, a glass bird flies

And swoops low to the ground to snatch

A glass worm in its beak to catch.

High pitched things are all that it lacks,

For piercing noise can lead to cracks...
