I put myself to work then on models of swordfish made out of wood, blue and silver, tuna, alalonga and aguglie, according to the models of the original lontri, of the ancient feluccas, to repair nets and weave again memories, of my life, which has always been here, over this short ribbon of sea, this infinite ocean of facts, of adventures, of the world..
The boys, Nicola, Saro, and I, by name (and only by name) Placido, still more or less babies, never left our mother a fork to eat with in the house, because we tied them to the top of a reed in the manner of a trident to spear octopi, bollaci and costardelle, and any fish that by luck happened to be within reach of our eyes and arms.
It carried us towards our fate on the sea, on the Strait, to the swordfish, to the old feluccas and the lontri, carried us to spears, to palamidare, palangresi..
I have in my eyes only the view of the harpoon, of that precious one made by master ironsmith Nino, that nailed itself into the polished skin, the color of steel, in the heart of the flesh, of the fish that jumps, that arches itself, the sword high over the surface of the water, and it goes down deep, whipping emphatically with the crescent-shaped tail, disappearing rapidly with all the thread of the rope, the trail of blood that draws its own path, a path that ends in death.

Federation of Fly Fishers Code of Angling Ethics © Copyright by the Federation of Fly Fishers, Inc.
Because of its universal application, we made translations with the hope that we might encourage individuals, clubs, associations, and industry to adopt it and thereby join in our efforts to make the world of fly fishing a better place.
Marty Seldon FFF International Relations Committee The mission of the Federation of Fly Fishers is to lead activities that enhance and support the fly fishing experience for all anglers who fish with the artificial fly.
As part of our efforts to educate through fly fishing, we believe that ethical behavior is a key component of the angling experience.
While the need to preserve for all anglers the natural beauty and quality of fisheries for future generations is paramount, consideration for fellow anglers cannot be overlooked.
FFF believes it essential that fly anglers in all waters embrace an ethic that embodies consideration for the environment and for others whether they are fishing or not.
This Code of Angling Ethics complements the Catch and Release philosophy that is the hallmark of the Federation of Fly Fishers and reflects the importance of ethical behavior for all anglers.
