WHAT DO YOU KNOW - FOR SURE?


Recently, in another context, I read an article that asked the question that forms the title of this piece. It really is an interesting question to contemplate and when you beginning to think about what you know ? for sure ? about a certain subject the more you come to realize how much you know in general and how little you know for sure. In addition, there is a disturbing trend that confuses theory with fact. Fly fishing is full of theories that many people have come to accept as fact. In reality, we think we know but we don't.

I am sure that I will never know everything, and some of the things I think are know, are not!

Or as my Drill Sergeant in Basic Traing at Ft. Campbell explained to me.... "THOU SHALL NO ASSUME!" Took me three days to get my hearing back after that important lesson. ~Parnelli
