Comment on surprising ‘emergence’ suggests fly fishermen are a gullible an affluent bunch by Patrick Konoske

I’ll admit to having some of those shows playing on the television as I’m tying flies, but perhaps more as a reminder of why I’m stuggling through tying those size 22s…

I’d go with gullible if not affluent. I don’t do many fly fishing DVDs or even free television shows telling me what I’m missing and likely will never be able to afford. To those who can afford exotic trips and high priced gear whenever a rod manufacturer comes out with the latest and greatest…good for you. The others are gullible…good for them. If ignorance is bliss, I’m the most blissful person in the world. …Good for me.

I don’t know, but when you say affluent and gullible, I think of a certain animal rights group that everyone who hunts or fishes loves to hate. Well, I guess gullible fits fly fisherman as well. No doubt fly fishermen will buy into about anything in the name of being in with the “in crowd.” I don’t really pay much attention to the fly fishing shows or the DVDs. I don’t need reminders that I’m not “affluent” enough to go to exotic locations or even buy the latest DVD. I’m happy because ignorance is bliss.

Sort of like thinking you’ve hooked the biggest trout in that run you’ve been pulling 12 inchers out of, only to find it was foul hooked…

Gullible isn’t the most fitting term. I’d say “passionate hobbyists bent on global fish conservation” or something similar! Affluent, hmmm, affluent enough to feed the addiction maybe?

I don’t know why I had some doubts about this. If it’s too good to be true…it usually is.

No kidding…guess it increases one’s chances of snagging a fish in or around the mouth.
