About Me
Taunted By Waters is what Trout Fisherman features editor Jeffrey Prest gets up to between salary negotiations.
Much as he'd like the credit for this play on the famous last words in A River Runs Through It, the real hero is Hannah Nordhaus, who coined the phrase in an article on her first try at flyfishing, for Rocky Mountain News. This blog is dedicated to her. The good bits, anyway.

It’s not all fish, fish, fish…
Overheard this week in the Trout Fisherman office...
"Just because I had a dessert spoon does not make me 'a big southern ponce'.."
"I'll know where to come next time I need a kick up the a***"
"There's only one Johnny Cash in this office..."
"All my practical jokes involve winches and pulleys"
"I think my fingers are putting on weight"
"Why would anyone send me an envelope of WD40?"
"Do you have any morality whatsoever?"
"I work in Sales..."
"I don't have a fetish for leather but three weeks wearing a jacket like that and I could soon develop one"
"I'm going to come over there and give you a step-dad style smacking"
"'EastEnders' is sooo powerful when you're hungover"
