I think that fly anglers are the only fishermen who are constantly comparing themselves to other types of fishing and always trying to make themselves seem better. I honestly don't think anyone else cares, and I certainly don't think that they enjoy their time on the water any less. People enjoy catching fish, and would enjoy catching fish in solitude. Trout happen to live in places where solitude can sometimes be found. However, a bass fisherman pulling his boat who happens to drive by any popular trout river and see fly fishermen standing every 50 yards wearing their funny clothes, waving their ridiculously overpriced rods, must certainly think that fly fishermen don't like solitude. Because, when gets to the lake and runs out to a nice quiet and secluded cove and drops his completely silent trolling motor he is suddenly enjoying solitude.
