I'm still not sure if it's more painful to lose a fly you paid $2 for in a fly shop or one you spent 15 minutes tying yourself.
barbless hooks are much easier to remove from your body than barbed hooks
fish have an IQ of about 3 yet we still fail to catch them far more frequently than we care to admit
casting a 3wt into a 20 mph head wind is cause for a whole new vocabulary.
Your teen age son greatly appreciates the new phrases and word combinations he learned when dad is casting a 3wt into a 20 mph head wind.
why it's called fishing and not catching
small bluegill think they're really big fish
tying your own flies saves a lot of money (at least that's what I tell my wife)
you cannot own too many fly rods
when fishing warm water ponds, always bring a few "trout" flies like an elk hair caddis.
anyone who thinks golf is frustrating has never gone fishing
anyone who thinks fishing is boring has never gone fishing
fly fishing is a lot of fun.
