“Twelve meters, and lay it half a meter in
front of the fish,” Luis said. Those words
were uttered to me by my guide when we
were still thirty feet from the lake. I was
frantically looking out into the open water
for the fish, so that I would not screw up
my first shot at what Luis referred to as a
European Bonefish. I was still searching the
open water when he finally pointed to a fish
swimming not three feet from the shore.
