So would buying a trout at the fishmongers!


Uhm...

No.

Buying a trout would not satisfy the joy of getting a trout to bite on
something made with a bunch of feathers and fur tied onto a hook, the feel
of the fish pulling on the end of the line, and the true satisfaction of
releasing it and watching swim away so that I, or some other angler could
enjoy that feeling all again someday.

Nope. Nothing at all like going through the mess and headache of trying to
make in ones kitchen, a chemical compound that is readily available at most
fly shops for a measly amount of cash.
