I get plenty of personal satisfaction catching fish using advice and tips from fellow fisherman.Guess I’ll play devils advocate,I always thought of fishing as something you have to figure ou.I won’t ask what fly there using or what Lake thier fishing,It’s a challenge to figure things out for myself.Sometimes I find out what works sometimes I don’t.I do listen to the gents at the fly shop and match the hatch,most of the time I have success sometimes I don’t.I guess I really don’t care if people catch fish or not ,try harder watch what’s hatching put some effort into it,I find it more enjoyable when it all comes together and you figured it out.Your not always going to be successful but even if someone has done all the work for you there’s no personal satisfaction in the sport.Just my 02 cents
Every time we fish we use techniques that were figured out by someone else before us 99.9% of the time.
It is fun though to feed the ego by thinking we're the smarter guy on a givin day on the water.
