Not much to add, but a large zip-loc bag with a couple of wet wipes in 'em are an important part of my gear. So much more comfortable than the cut off t-shirt I used as a boy. The zip lock bag works great for tidying up afterwards as well, if you're so inclined. On cold days store them close to your body so they're nice and warm when you use them.

I love the fish are dumb post. It really is so true.

I didn't see this posted, but learn to tie really good knots and then take your time on every one. If you're not 100% happy then redo. A sloppy knot will cost you a big fish.

Finally, I find it interesting that I don't ever recall hearing a spinning/baitcasting fisherman complaining about fly fishermen. Yet, last summer alone, I can't even begin to count the number of negative comments I heard fly fishermen make of others... sorta makes you wonder.
