They're not necessarily wrong. It depends on your priorities. It's much
easier to collect gear than actually to go out and catch some trout;
and, if you have the right temperment and personality, it might even be
more rewarding.

Cut "to the chase" for my email address.

I was told by one of the snobbiest fly shops in town once that you should "
buy the best line money can buy, buy the best rod you can afford, and , buy
whatever reel you can with the money you have left". I promptly ignored
that advice and went straight to gear whoredom.
