Alabama Trout And Deeper Magic
“There’s certainly something in fishing that makes a man feel he is doing right; I can’t explain it, but it’s very pleasant.”
You don’t fully understand fatherhood until you’re a father. And even then, you’re just doing the best you can with what you have. In this essay, Dr. Gill reflects on lessons his dad taught him about fishing, fatherhood, and sacrifice. He also laments his failure to having yet landed an Alabama trout—a feat his two young children have both accomplished. Bryan has understood varying levels of sacrifice over the years, but two nights in Arkansas, a Great Lion, and a fishing trip helped him to truly grasp this peculiar concept.
We hope you’ll enjoy this essay entitled, “Alabama Trout and the Deeper Magic,” written by Dr. Bryan Gill and read by Brad Hill.
