The storm arrived on one side of Pelican Current and sunlight held on to the other. Elara called it the cloud-lure interval: ten minutes of bright water with nowhere to hide.
The colour split
The water held blue under one cloud and gold under the next. Elara did not chase the dramatic view; she watched the simple edge where both colours met.
A lure with a soft landing
The orange lure fell just beyond the light seam. The fish took it with no splash, as if the river had made the decision first.
The weather closed gently
Rain reached the boat soon after the release. Elara packed without rushing and marked the interval with a single lime line in the station ledger.
