Fishing guides and heating techs: Human nature is a glorious thing, as is ego

摘要

I fished for the first time in my life six years ago, which may seem strange since I was born on an island (Manhattan) and grew up on another island (Long). But my father wasn't a sportsman and he never ate fish in his life, so I suppose that's why I never got to hold a rod and turn a reel as a lad. And being a city kid, I have always had a healthy fear of nature - even though we have no wolves, bears or soaring bald eagles on Long Island. In NYC, they're all locked safely behind bars in zoos, which is fine by me. I find nature to be very unnatural.
