Reading

Today i was reading "A river runs through it" and it introduced the two main characters, two brothers who were taught fly-fishing when they were young, by their father. The main character, (we don't know his name) is married and a family man now, because they are both 30. But Paul, his brother, drinks, gambles, likes to street fight, and is the best fisherman ever. The main character, (we can call him MC) wants to fish with his brother in-law, but Paul won't, because he's a bait fisherman. Anyway, Paul and MC are going fishing on the big blackfoot which is a river they both grew up fishing on. MC finds a nice hole and catches a massive trout, and Paul wast casting off a rock and people stopped to admire him because he is so good at casting. Paul catches a huge trout also. Right now in the book, Paul got into a bunch of street fights and now is in trouble with police. I can visualize Paul doing his own brand of casting, called shadow casting, were the line scrapes across the water before flipping up and landing.
