sure sounds like you knew better than that...


Two factors were at work

1) I'm a sucker for fly fishing books

2) I saw the title at a time when I was giving a lot of thought to
fishing "in" and very slightly to the "underside of" ... the "film"

and I hoped for new insights into the very challenging specific
problems involved with such presentation and patterns for same ...i.e.
don't float, don't sink

I bought the book online, based on MY projection of what the title
'should" mean, apparently not Borger's *..... * if I had had a chance
to thumb through it, I would have passed


Resurrecting this post to exclaim that THIS BOOK is the Reader's
Digest version of the Holy Grail of all known, flyfishing for trout,
knowledge and wisdom.
