Stand alone short essay
I like fishing downstream. Swinging flies for Steelhead is a welcome seasonal transition following months of facing and casting upstream for trout. It’s an entirely different tempo, two-stepping your way down a run. The casting and presentation is different, not to mention that some days even the fly rod is different. Two hands holding cork now. Cool! 
I recently took a day just for myself, the river, and two handed casting. It seems like it’s been years since I’ve had a full day for just myself and the river. No photos or video to worry about, nobody else along to divvy up runs with and no drift boat in the river to dictate the downstream order of things throughout the day. With no pressure to land fish, it was just a day to cast, swing, strip, step, and repeat. Very cool.
