Of Fly Fishing

Of Fly Fishing it can be said -but toward no other thing in Life*- that no other Pass Time could be more difficult.

Fly fishing requires skill, methods, intel, proper attractants, patience, right Season, proper water, depth, etc…

The factors governing a successful fly fishing trip are numerous. You can consider yourself lucky if you can catch anything at all. And many do.

So as you’re “Standing in a River, Waving a Stick,” you should realize a thing about yourself: you enjoy the engaging in the game. Simply the Play of it all.

You did not wake up at 0400 on the guarantee of catching what some Wisconsinites have proposed as, “phat bootie trouts…” You are there for the experience of Playing the role of Flyfisherman, acting as if he/she is going to catch a, “phat bootie trout.” And that’s all you really need to entertain while fly fishing, isn’t it?

Wether you catch the Largest Trout without a Doubt or a Tiny Fry smaller than The Fly, elation fills your being in the same way that applause fills the theatre after The Final Act.

“He played That part so well.”
