Then they realized thatthey had been going at it backwards. They had approached fishing from the point of view of thefisherman, and not from the point of view of the fish. How do fish view the world? How does thefisherman appear to the fish? What do fish eat, and when? These are all good things to know.So they began research studies, and attended conferences on fishing. Some traveled to faraway places to study different kinds of fish, with different habits. Some got PhD‘s in fishology.But no one had yet gone fishing.

　　A priority list of fishing places was posted on bulletin boards in all of the fellowship halls. Butstill, no one was fishing. A survey was launched, to find out why… Most did not answer thesurvey, but from those that did, it was discovered that some felt called to study fish, a few tofurnish fishing equipment, and several to go around encouraging the fisherman.
