because there really are not many fly fishers in the areas i fish, if i see someone i make it a point to go over and introduce myself... i tie flies, and try and fish them... if i can help out another fisherman, i will...
unfortunately, i think i come on a little strong for most people.... most seem alarmed, or just bothered...
on the other hand, i was spin fishing the other day, and this nice gentlemen came down and sparked a conversation with me while i was on my way out. i gave him all the information i could remember about where, and what was hatching and when... and weather they were rising or not... to be honest, i think the water would be a better place if everyone communicated more often, i really enjoyed the conversation...

if every cast caught a fish, it would be called "catching" not "fishing"
