Thanksgiving on the Water: Peace, Gratitude, and the Responsibility We Carry
Fly fishing gives us more than fish. It gives us quiet. It gives us space. It gives us a way to breathe in a world that never stops moving. And in this Thanksgiving episode, Ross reflects on the gratitude we owe to the waters that keep us steady, the wild places that make us feel alive, and the moments of peace that only a river can provide.
This isn’t a gear episode or a tactics breakdown. It’s a meditation on what this sport means.
Ross also explores the responsibility that comes with gratitude—how caring for the places we love is part of loving them, and why stewardship isn’t an obligation but an expression of thanks.
Whether you’re spending Thanksgiving with family, friends, or knee-deep in cold water, this episode is a reminder of what fly fishing gives us… and what we owe in return.
