And seems to have a bit of a crush on a girl much older than himself. A redhead with the body figure of a model, a girl named Sheila. in this journal I will be questioning and answering on how this short romantic story ends.

1G in the end, I think he will pick the bass because it's the biggest fish he has ever hooked and it's a one time chance, when he can always go on other dates with Sheila.

We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others.
