I only ventured into FF in the last year or so and i can say confidently its not in the blood (even though mine is blue,thats royal not Bull blood )i have to work hard on my technique every time i hit the water...i suppose if i fished more it would be a lot easier but alas young daughter and work have to come first, also with all the names of lines,equipment,styles,techniques and types of Flies ect, ect, ect,it is all beyond me,as much as i try to remeber everthing i am constantly asking questions (beware guys OV1 TRIP)...My grandfather was a great FF but obviously the gene has bypassed me. I must add that this in no way stops me from being enthusiastic and never gets in the way of me enjoying the day.....and i have even been known to catch a fish or two
I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed; and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.
James Boswell.
[T]his planet is covered with sordid men who demand that he who spends time fishing shall show returns in fish. ~Leonidas Hubbard, Jr.
