The sun glints off the water as we cast our lines. Our boat rocks gently on the lake. A rainbow trout breaks the surface splashing nearby. Its scales shimmer in the light. The air is crisp and clean. Birds call from the shoreline. Trees sway in the breeze. Another fish tugs at the line. The rod bends as we reel it in. A perfect day on the water unfolds.
