Holmes took to fly fishing as he took to everything else: naturally. He danced with pole, line, and fluid grace until his eager partner, the glistening fish, leapt from the currents to follow his lead.

Upon his proud success, I congratulated him exactly as my brother had me on my first trout.

"Well done! Now you get to clean it!"

Lovely, both the decription of Holmes and Watson's little ploy.

There's a certain elegance to fly fishing that I wanted to bring across. I'm happy it worked for you! Thank you kindly!

Haha. So now Holmes discovers why Watson wasn't trying as hard!

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Yup! Precisely. Watson knows the secret: the best part about fishing is not actually catching fish, but just being outside, having fun. Once you catch a fish, then the work starts! :)

aha! so you answered your own question;
holmes caught the trout whilst watson knows his place...

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

I couldn't resist it -- just too ambiguous to let go. There had to be a story there. So glad you liked it!

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

of course i liked it! the quality of the comm. as a whole is pretty righteous just now; everyone seems to really be hitting their stride.

Everything has a down side. :D Lovely!

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! And well, it has an upside too: nice trout dinner. :)

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

LOL! Very true! :D

Beautifully structured, and very cute - will we get to see Holmes in a frilly kitchen apron now? =3

Hehe! I don't know about the apron, but I think it would be funny to see him at work in the kitchen! :)
