Inspired angling...

Many have already asked about shaman angling. Put simply it is fishing with original wisdom. Put simply another way it is inspired angling. Inspired put simply is "in spirit". In more depth, it involves listening to the natural and to the inner voices that guide us all, if we will hear them. It's difficult to put in words, difficult to teach, learned mostly through intense first hand experience and overlooked by many. The shaman angler uses expectation and confidence  more than fur and feather to entice the fish. Fish-less outings are not distressing to the shaman piscator. He nevertheless returns with the aim of his quest, a commune with the water, its abode and denizens, but on the fish-less occasion with the added knowledge of what did not produce the preferred result... a jerk on both ends of the string. Shaman angler success may seem magical to some observers but it is simply the consequence of listening and learning. I am not yet a shaman angler but someday hope to be.
