    "You have to have the perfect rod and line taper to land dry flies correctly". One of my best days of fly fishing came after I:
    1) broke the whole tip section of a 5-piece rod off.
    2) proceeded to take off about 18" of tippet with it.
    3) Tied on a dry fly and caught the most fish I ever had on dries.

    For me it's a lot of the "you HAVE to do it this way" thinking that some fly fishermen have.
