Respecting the fish by honoring the sport of fly fishing,

You lost me on that one. . .

For me fly fishing is a very important part of who I am and
how I make sense of the world around me. Norman Maclean had
it right when he said there is no clear line between religion
and fly fishing. For me, words like honorable, properly and
respect are not "strange" words to associate with fly fishing.

I didn't say they were, but I still fail to understand how getting the fish onto
the reel has anything to do with "respecting the fish." Hell, you can honor the
sport any way you want, but I think the fish would feel better respected if you
didn't fish at all.
