I sometimes wish I had less fear to try different things that MY
thoughts suggest, even if they aren't supported by the "experts."


I'm actually not this way with most books. The two "fishing", as opposed
to "tying", books that I really like are the one being discussed, and
Rosenbauer's "Prospecting for Trout". Hughes really expanded my concept of
what a wet fly is, and why we use them, and Rosenbauer gave me some early
insight about what to do when there's no hatch.

There are a variety of "experts" that certainly carry little sway on how I
do things-- some well published, and some self-appointed. For me to take
them seriously, they have to write well, and they have to have something to
say.
