I discovered end of 1980's band called zero nine. It is rock band from Finland, in fact from Kuusamo where I live nowadays. I remember that they had few great songs. Last summer I found them again and realized that they have song about fly fishing.
You mighy not heard of them, yet they have played with bands like ACDC, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, ZZTOP, Scorpions, Def Leppard, Prince of darkness (ozzy) etc... So someone have heard them.
Last summer when I was struggling with fishing in Sweden, fucking difficult conditions and wind, this banging on water was my power song. Well real title is banging drums and you can find originally song https://youtu.be/w3CiLH2klec?si=6BaSEGJSn2F3C7L-
Anyway here are lyrics which I hear...
Learn how to cast, cast your rock'n roll
Learn how to cast the fly with heart and soul
Learn how to fail
Learn how to rise again and yell
Dry or die
Only thing that is left for me,
Is the only thing I know
Banging on waters we bring down the rocks
We use any flies to go through the catch
Way down the river something waits for you
And turns you young agsin, I've been told
Learn how to cast
Learn how to fail
Learn how to rise again and yell
Dry or die
Only thing that is left for me,
Is the only thing I know
Banging on waters we ain't got no choice
One way to run for me and the boys
Have a nice weekend and go banging on waters
