Vicki.....the problem is not that "EVERYONE" is trying to reinvent the wheel..........the problem is that to many seem to feel they're owed something because they came up with a fly that works.............(virtually any fly will work
).............unfortunately we only have so many magazines, that can only afford to pay a handful of fly tyers for their patterns...........so they can sell advertizements...........that also perpetuate the myth of fishing success, based on those same patterns so-to-speak..............know-what-i-mean?.................so the vicious cycle goes on................
i hate to say it.......(so don't your thinking
), HARDLY.....but i saw the same thing all this past weekend.........and i fully understand. A guy has a dream.............and he works hard at fullfilling that dream for half a damn century.................guy like, well, let's just say, so many of the "names"............if i've heard them refer to $$$$$ in one form or the other, once at this show or that show..............i must of heard it 500 times................gets old after a while............i'd rather be hustled by a Pro hustler, than one of my heros.........
i know, i know.....that's naive
personally, i'd hate to ever get so successful.....doing what i love.....that i felt i hadda keep drilling home the point that................blah blah blah blah, i got this for sale and that for sale and this for sale and that for sale and this for sale and that for sale..................jeeze....................
like a broken record with a skip in it.............
Just alllllllllllllllllllll the hype that comes with the territory.............ya gotta be able to discern wass what, and filter out all the B.S.
What's ruining fly fishing is the simple fact that it's a business............an industry............those things screw up a wet dream............
