Fly fishing enthusiast and guide, Jeff Loftin, has written a concise guide for the beginning fly fisherman. His short essay is about as close as one can come to having a favorite uncle who just happens to be a fly fishing expert and is delighted to introduce you to his beloved sport.
Loftin begins with a bit of philosophical musing about fly fishing. He explains a part of the mystery that all fly fishing addicts understand, and that is the fact that trout live in beautiful places. To pursue wild fish, one must spend time in wild places. He also reveals a second element of fly fishing’s challenge: “You will not be able to techno your way to success in fly fishing.” Unlike some types of hunting and fishing that use super scopes, sophisticated game-finding equipment, and game management that puts the quarry right where the hunter or angler wants it to be, fly fishing relies, as it always has, on the angler’s ability to find fish in their natural habitat and then entice the fish into taking the fly. Possessors of such skills work hard to acquire them. They must learn about fish, about the waters where they live and the food they eat. They must gain a deep understanding of the environment surrounding the fish, so much so that they step into it and become a part of it. They must attain insight. Loftin says, “Willful development of insight is something the world could use.”
