Buttle Lake, BC

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Campbell River, 2023.07.18

This part of BC is so beautiful, I can barely believe it.

I tossed my fly line in the water here but didn't get much response. When I noticed the fly had come off the line, I tried my spinnerbait and had a strike on the first cast. I think the fish couldn't get its mouth around the hook, or there was some similar issue and I missed that fish but can you ask for a more beautiful fishing location!

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
