Again, speaking for myself, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the

I agree. On the occasion in question, I was fishing at the bass pond
within walking distance of my front porch. So, some would say, not
*really* fly fishing. For the record, whilst in a trout stream I do
not carry a phone, I never wear a vest, and I almost always wade wet.
In my earlier post I was mostly trying to compare/contrast the evils
of taking a phone call while fishing to taking a phone call while
driving. Depending upon the intensity of the occasion, I've been known
to do both.
