lifelong adventure-past

Well, I thought it might be helpful for me to write about my past experiences so I can look back and say "I did this!?" when I get old and start losing my memories.

A little fisherman



When I was a child, a innocent child, there was a little creek called Tawaramappu. It was a spring creek and the water temperature was always around 8-10 degrees celsius through the year. Yamame is a type of trout I fished most when I was little. I believe that I fished most at the creek and caught more Yamame than anybody else who has fished at the creek. I knew the creek from start to finish. I knew all the good spots to fish. I mean I really knew. I started to fish when I was 4. Yamames aren't big trout but really beautiful fish to hook 4 year old to fishing. In Chinese characters we use characters for mountain"Yama" and girl"onna but in this case we pronounce it Me" So, it means princess of the mountain.
Back them I felt like I was a part of the creek and sroundings. I don't think I thought that but when I look back I really think I felt or I knew how to be a part of nature. Agggghhhh!!!! Where did my fishing touch go.
