Lovely haiku – as a fisherman myself I recall the quiet moments on a stream, the finesse and mindfulness of casting, the contrast of freedom of being outdoors & "measuring" and 'oneness' in nature. Nicely executed with the longer last line of human endeavor of measuring.

Wonderful! Love that 'one cast after another' that also 'measures' the brook!
