I found this hand-written in the front pages of an old book. I have transcribed the entire page, including the footnote it had, and added some of my own revisions and updates to the wording.. Apparently written by Mrs. Lamberton as she watched her husband fish, it captures the excitement and joy of fly fishing in a few verses.
