A cool mountain current threads through lenga forest as you step into knee-high waders, line humming off the reel while the river dares you to try a new cast. Morning light cuts across glassy pools; the guide points to where a brown trout has been holding, and for a few perfect seconds the valley narrows to your rhythm and the water’s pull.
