Well stocked fishing ponds can be a good source of fish for supper or sport, yet a smaller pond can be something else entirely. These sorts of places are where many people spent time as kids, doing some quiet pond fishing with their dad or siblings or cousins. So fishing in a spot like this can be a nostalgic, almost a meditative experience as the person simultaneously fishes in the present and relives pleasant times in the past. It's possible to be as obsessive about fishing here as it is for many in the larger lakes or rivers, but it's certainly not necessary.
Pond fishing brings you somehow closer to the fish, but it also highlights the mechanics of fishing, turning the pond into a microcosm of the larger whole. This means that every single move you make could become important. For one thing, your approach and everything else you do will be more detectable by the fish. You can't lumber noisily up to the edge of the pond and expect the fish to leap into sight. There are already enough fish pond predators, so you don't need to make them even more wary.
Different kinds of fish are approached in different ways in a smaller pond, and this is one of the things that make this kind of fishing so interesting. For example, bass tend to feed along the edges, in the overgrowth of vegetation that many people avoid. Proper pond fishing here would suggest that rather than the person casting into the more open center, they should wade out themselves and cast parallel to the vegetation. Catfish, on the other hand, might need the fisherman to go out in a boat and drag the line along the bottom of the pond.
While some types of fish might be harder to catch in these smaller ponds (for example, catfish, which don't reproduce well here), in many ways it doesn't have to matter. These smaller ponds can supply a good catch for dinner, but the pond fishing experience here doesn't need to be as intense as in larger locations. These places can combine the pleasure of fishing with a different kind of pleasure: reliving good times from the past, and remembering what it was like to go fishing as a kid.

Force For Change: How Leadership Differs from Management $25.99 The critics who despair of the coming of imaginative, charismatic leaders to replace the so-called manipulative caretakers of American corporations don't tell us much about what leadership actually is, or, for that matter, what management is either. Now, John P. Kotter, who focused on why we have a leadership crisis in The Leadership Factor shows here, with compelling evidence, what leadership really means today, why it is rarely associated with larger-than-life charismatics, precisely how it is different from management, and yet why both good leadership and management are essential for business success, especially for complex organizations operating in changing environments. Leadership, Kotter clearly demonstrates, is for the most part not a god-like figure transforming subordinates into superhumans, but is in fact a process that creates change -- a process which often involves hundreds or even thousands of "little acts of leadership" orchestrated by people who have the profound insight to realize this. Building on his landmark study of 15 successful general managers, Kotter presents detailed accounts of how senior and middle managers in major corporations, in close concert with colleagues and subordinates, were able to create a leadership process that put into action hundreds of commonsense ideas and procedures that, in combination with competent management, produced extraordinary results. This leadership turned NCR from a loser to a big winner in automated teller machines, despite intense competition from IBM. The same process at American Express and SAS helped businesses grow dramatically despite the fact that they were "mature" and "commodity-like." Kotter also shows how leadership turned around operations at P&G and Kodak; produced huge business successes at PepsiCo, ARCO, and ConAgra; and made the impossible occasionally happen at Digital. Thousands of companies today are overmanaged and underled, John Kotter concludes, not because managers lack charisma, but because far too few executives have a clear understanding of what leadership is and what it can accomplish. Without such a vision, even the most capable people have great difficulty trying to lead effectively and to create the cultures which will help others to lead. |
