I fish with a wide range if fly fishers. Some of my buddies spend hours each evening
before our morning departure getting their gear ready. Others, simply grab their pack and rods that
were left on the garage floor and have not moved or been opened since our last
trip out.
No one type is any better than the other. If we were all did things the same, life
would get pretty dull. Also, how could
we pick on our buddies for being different…?
Type-1: Reorganize your flies before each trip. Change leaders and or tippets before you pack
up your rods. Pack a couple different
rod weights as you never know what the day may bring. You have separate fly boxes for each river
you fish most often, maybe your boxes are broken down into seasons, etc…?
Type-2. You know your set-ups are just about ready. Not yet sure what flies you will be throwing,
but you have enough fly boxes in your pack to get you through the day. If you don’t have what you need, you can
figure things our riverside to make the day a success.
Type-3: You have a rod,
and a reel with line on it. If you do
not have all you need, you know your fishing buddy will help you out.
I am guessing I am in between type-1 and type-2. If the trip is to some local waters, I am
more of a type-2. If this is a bigger
trip that requires travel, I am most definitely a type-1.
Let us know your thoughts...
