A couple of days ago I posted on Hemingway and his efforts on a six-word short story:
For sale: baby shoes, never used.
I wondered if fishing writers could do the same and came up with my own:
The hook straightened. I quickly retied.
And somebody actually responded–Wyatt from Fly Times:
Rained hard, river’s blown. Driving home.
So now I am making it a contest. Submit your own six-word fishing story in comments or via email, and I’ll post it here. Plus, I’m offering this t-shirt prize*** to my favorite. (Which, upon inspection, is actually a six-word story unto itself.)
***A fishing related item of equal value may be substituted if the t-shirt doesn’t cut it. These aren’t hard and fast rules. (Let me know Wyatt, so far you’re the front runner.)
