Hey Folks,
With todays attitude of "Get It Now",Do you think that technology has taken away from the tradition of fly-fishing?Or, Has it made it easier to become a good fly fisherman?

I personally don't think it makes you a better caster but, it does speed up the learning curve. I kinda like the allure of finding out things from different people and meeting mentors and such. I believe the electronic age of technology detracts from the tradition. I want to meet new people and learn from them. Some people have told me that they think fly fisherman tend to be secretive about their trade. I haven't seen that to be true. Every time I have asked someone for help they have always been helpful.

I have the newest latest and greatest gear but I think the tradition of camaraderie needs to live on.

Thanks,

Rich
