Genesis:  The first book of the Bible; a Latin and Greek word meaning the “origin” or “beginning.”  The 5x7 landscape below features the Rahway River, in the hustle and bustle of Union, New Jersey, where two side-by-side U.S. 22 highway bridges cross over it.  It was here, back in ’62 --- lifetimes ago--- young wannabe anglers embraced the pastime of fishing, often drowning worms or drifting salmon eggs to hatchery trout.  We were young noble knights of the eternal Order of Sir Izaak Walton and the Rahway River was our preordained turf.  This was my Genesis to the eventual world of flyfishing for wild trout and bamboo rods.

Notice the trout dimple, if you can, forever burnt into the fabric of my mind.
