There is the mythic adventure of trekking to a mountain river, a fly rod in hand for catching wild trout. It is all taking place, of course, in a poetic setting in which nature talks to you.
Then there is the trout fishing that over 30,000 anglers, mostly in 200 lowland lakes on this side of the mountains, did on opening day for the fishing season Saturday, April 23.
This is fishing at a dock at Martha Lake Park in Lynnwood, just past the rushing traffic on 164th Street Southwest, not far from the Walmart.
