Pitt:
I can see your point. Would tend to agree in some situations. However, I have been in situations where you really did have to "match the hatch" to be successful. The reason I enjoy fishing and fly tying is because it CAN be so challenging. I enjoy the challenge and strive to meet the challenge, where necessary. I have seen guys walk away from the river in frustration when the rising trout would take nothing he put on - and he must have tried 8-10 different flies. I don't like walking away.................
