Glass flat water clear as a crystal
No blemish detected not even a ripple
4 wheel drive brought me here
A tent some food and a cooler of beer
A week here will be just fine
All alone, to clear my mind
Commune with god in my outdoor church
Untangle my thoughts out of this lurch
A couple of fishing rods, tackle and bait
Looking for dinner, fish to pull my line straight
Put on a chub on let it sink to the bottom
that one sits, take a walk, see if I can spot them
One rod out, fly rod in hand, ease around the edge
Cast out with my fly, I see a flash by a ledge
Trout hits my fly and the fight is on
Work him in until his fight is gone
Dinner in the creel, I look around
Other rod bent over clear to the ground
Run over to it and set the hook
Something pulls back, deep I can't give it a look
The fight is on reel screams out drag
whatever this is will cause me to brag
I win the fight, a 42 inch pike
Stocked for the week, I'll go on a hike
