I am a more artistic minded individual. The beauty of a single small fish in a beautiful setting, a cast that I see as perfect, the fight of worthy opponents on opposite ends of a flyline entice me to my hobby.While competative fishing does not interest me, I feel that it is not my place to impose my value system on other anglers. I regularly fish with gentlemen who "count fish". It does not take away from my expirience one bit that they expierience fishing differently than I do. I still enjoy their company. The fact that each of us takes something different from our day on the water is truely amazing to me. I believe that this broadness of appeal keeps our chosen recreational activity fresh and rife with opportunities for new expieriences, keeps manufacturers producing new products and provides the chance for new friendships the world over.
