Default Oh, me of little faith

I've been out a couple times lately, bobicator fishing the local river.

While, yes, I have caught fish many times and places (including this local
river ) on small nymphs, it always seems like luck, not the result of
fishing. My recent journal entry says, " I really need to invest more time
in learning bobicator nymphing. I fished a very small BHPT and a small
Copper John around the Honolulu Bar area. Both should be close enough to
the baetis nymphs active here and now, I'd think, but I never moved a fish
and ( this may be key) never expected to ... although I know others catch
fish nymphing this water "

Once or twice each year, usually in the "off season" for the type fishing
I'm willing to drive to find, I feel totally inadequate asa fly fisher
because I just can't find "faith" in nymphing the water. Maybe I need to
find a roving bobicator evangelist and split shot revival meeting .....
something .... to make me a "true believer" .... I wanta believe, I really
do, but by the third cast my mind is elsewhere and going home to work some
dogs sounds like more fun than fishing
