Fishing is Largely Luck

I out fished my son 12-0 from 11 am until 3 pm last Saturday. He out
fished me 11-3 from 3 until dark. Clearly, early fishing is based on
skill, presentation, etc. Later in the day luck takes over.

Of course by 3 he had lost all the flies that were not working and
when we met up I told him what was and he used them to great
advantage. So maybe I WILL take credit for his later success. (So
maybe not luck)

It was a beautiful 75 degrees. All fish were under 12" wild rainbows
and were released unharmed to be later poached by a baitfishing
poacher.
