I like those Taro leaves on the river banks;a scene memory of my childhood in Mauritius.I also used to fish but caught anything.Was too stupid. Fishing,however,rudimentary,necessitates some basic industry,skills etc.. If you have the rights coaching you are off on the right tracks. Once you throw the line,your world narrows to just between you and the spot the hook has dropped and this distance become a whole universe,your universe with all its imaginations,wishful thinking,the potentialities,its sizes,colours....
this is normal,,,the fish habitat is pond or some kind of a lake,,literally the fish is always hungry.brooo,,,try to fish in a river and show us how hard it was,,not this kind of water,,,
