I fish a little different from most of my friends. They seem to enjoy
rushing to wader-up, jump right into the water

Okay. . . I'm with you so far . . .
Some even have cigars dangling from their mouths as they forcefully wade
through the water to get to their spot only to blind cast.

Nope. . . I lost you on this one. Do the cigars have something to do with
the sloppiness of the approach?

I like to scout the area first, look for prime fishing areas, and
watch for fish on the rise, even before I get my waders on. I would also
observe the hatch, or surrounding flies that I think fish are hitting on.

Okay, we're back on track, but I like a good cigar in my mouth while doing
so. ;-)
