Anticipation

I feel light tickling in my finger tips. I am going fishing tonight. Is this the night when that big trout gently takes my emerging caddis pattern?

At this time of the year, rhyacophila caddis is hatching in my local rivers after sunset. Fish are everywhere. I can hear them splashing yet it is hard to see them. All casts I perform are more or less random.

However it is quite possible that tickling sensation in my fingertips results from lack of nicotine as I haven't smoked a single cigar in eight days... And worst still, it is possible that there is no hatch tonight.
