Download or read book If It Were Easy They d Call It Catchin written by Tom Friedemann and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Tom Friedemann’s thirty-one-year marriage to his high-school sweetheart ended, he was crushed. But then a fly-fishing buddy gave him a handwritten piece of advice that read, “Just go fishing and everything will be all right.” He followed that advice and found it to be the perfect salve. In this collection of stories, he celebrates his love affair with fishing and journaling—a journey that began in 1963 in Oklahoma after he caught a 13⁄4 pound largemouth bass on a red-and-white Martin Fly Plug using a Mitchell 304 spinning reel with a solid glass rod. That was the beginning of a journey that led to a life of contentment—one that carried him into his seventies and served as an antidote for the challenges he faced in earning a college degree, establishing a career, raising a family, and eventually retiring. Join the author as he shares how journaling has magnified the satisfaction that comes when one of God’s creatures gives you the ultimate compliment of taking your artificial fly or lure because he thought it was prey.
