"But
I account the use that a man should seek of the publishing of his own
writings before his death, to be but an untimely anticipation of that
which is proper to follow a man, and not to go along with him."

His dad handed him the golden-bronze,
shellacked cane pole, a tug at the old, brown cork, and from underneath
it, a small bluegill was raised from the surface, perhaps all of four
inches, dangling above Lake Canon’s waters. His first. He was barely
three then.
The man then pointed to the far side of the lake, not at
the distant shore, but pointed to an invisible path that could only be
seen by few; a path that had many branches, twists and turns. All
because of this, a journey began.
Gary continued this journey fishing the many lakes around
the central Florida area, later moving closer to the eastern side of the
state. His curiosity of saltwater led him to obtain his captain’s
license in 1990. Also, around that same time, his interest began a new
path in fly-fishing the shallow and beautiful flats on the Indian River
Lagoon in search of redfish, tarpon, sea trout and snook.
Captain Gary Henderson has now retired from professional
guiding and chartering, but still continues to follow the paths his
father pointed out to him long ago. His roots are still firmly embedded
from his past, and as a reminder, he still fly-fishes in “the lake
behind the house”. Here, he finds the spirit of his dad and the many
friends that have passed to the other side. Here, he also finds
inspiration for stories of back then, and now.
