From time to time, though, you'll call on all that knowledge you gained
when learning to tie flies, and think of the possibility that what you
really need is something that you once knew about, and even used to
fish with, and it did qute well at the time.

A most peculiar and annoying phenomenon. There are several patterns I used
to rely on quite heavily because they were very successful. Then they
stopped working pretty much entirely. I still carry them. Some day......
