"Peter A. Collin"

.. There are plenty
of days each season where I really have to work - the fun and rewarding
kind of work. My solutions to problems do not always originate from a
book.



Well sure ... observation and thought are still vital to success. It's
just a matter of degree and a matter of available resources when one finally
decides to do the work. And, of course, the best solutions can come from
intentionally NOT looking in the books, if the prerequisite observations are
accurately made ... since something "good but different" is very often
better than the "same old good" on modern streams.

The guy fishing a heavy trico spinner fall on Unnamed Creek with a #14 Humpy
( and a few such people are out there every day of the season ) is still
very frustrated and surely feels he has a real "angling problem" to be
solved. But he's probably fishing within a few dozen yards of someone
willing to give ( or sell ) "the solution" even if his own eyes remain
totally shut.

Unlike Marinaro, our Humpy tosser, today, does have lots of easy to access
resources and could be catching fish quickly .... and without any serious
personal leaps of creativity.

That said ... there is still PLENTY of room for better ( different, see
above ) solutions .. and probably always will be ...
