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. ;-)

Ah, so you are that Tim J. who posts to that stinky cigar group. ;-)


Hey, aren't you that brians who reads that stinky cigar group?

Yes. I was active for several years, but mostly lurk now.

What gave it away? The same identical sig in both groups?

Didn't really dawn on me till just a few weeks ago. FWIW, I had an
Upmann, Monarch while checking out a old favorite spot of mine.
