An epiphany on the road to Whitemans

Every time I have had an epiphany, I soon got a come-uppence. Just when I
thought I had things figured out, whammo the trout prove me wrong again. So,
after 50 years of flyfishing, I just take the good times with bad and enjoy
it all, cause the bad aren't bad at all. But, I have taken a minimalist
approach to the number of flies I carry. I'm a firm believer in general
shape and size with proper presentation. I carry goddard and elk-hair
caddis, a "gray thing" dry fly (similar to an adams) all in sizes 14-20 and
a few midge flies (mostly my own designs) in 22-26. I don't always get
them, but rarely is anyone else either, when I'm not.

No illusiopns, no illusions at all. I figure if I get it right more
than half the time, I'm doin' OK.
