ladyflyfisher,
That is very funny!! Part of the reason I took my fly boxes to the Garage Sale on the 3rd day was to enjoy the reactions and comments from people who knew little about flyfishing, except the ever popular, "FLY CASTING IS SO INTERESTING!"
I have always been tuned into the artistic expression of fly tying. I still have a little boy's wonder and curiosity.
I'm so glad that tyers keep coming up with interesting fly patterns.
One conversation I had at the Garage Sale had to do with the big picture of flyfishing. The person told me they had seen flyfishers casting on TV and that's all they had seen about flyfishing. I told the person, "There is a LOT more to flyfishing than casting!"
There must be a LOT of people who are intimidated by the 'Big Picture'
Doug P.S. Wouldn't it be fun to have a Show, like Art Linkletter's Kids Say The Darndest Things
