The Fishermen

Now it came to pass that a group existed who called themselves fishermen. And there were many fish in the waters all around. In fact the whole area was surrounded by streams and lakes filled with fish. And the fish were hungry. Year after year, those who called themselves fishermen met at Lake Matinenda and talked about their call to fish, the abundance of fish, and how they might go about fishing. Year after year

 they carefully defined what fishing means, defended fishing as an occupation, and declared that fishing is always to be a primary task of fishermen.

These fishermen went to Canada every year for their local smallmouth fishing headquarters. The plea was that everyone should be a fisherman and every fisherman should fish. 

The annual Canada smallmouth fishing trip was formed by those who had the great vision and courage to speak about fishing, to define fishing, to promote the idea of fishing in a faraway lake where many smallmouth fish lived. Each year, this group of fishermen travel to Canada to have meetings to define fishing, to defend fishing, to decide what new fishing lures should be tried.

Large, elaborate, and expensive fishing equipment has been purchased by these fishermen whose original and primary purpose was to catch smallmouth. Now it's true that many of the fishermen sacrificed and put up with all kinds of difficulties. But year after year, we come back to the one place where the smallmouth are sure to be.  This page is dedicated to those fishermen.
