Exquisite Tools & Precise Manipulation
"Fly fishing calls for the most precise and fastidious manipulation
of exquisitely fashioned tools. A three or four ounce split bamboo rod, with
a well balanced reel, a tapered casting line, a leader of the proper
fineness, and a well tied fly, or flies, is one of the most perfectly
designed and executed triumphs of human artisanship. A violin is but little

"…It delights both the eye and the tactile
sense, for not every rod which is beautifully made has the crowning virtue of
the right feel .

"For you, with your quite individual bodily and mental habits, your
slowly acquired art as a fisherman, must now use this fragile combination of
wood and steel and silk and gut and feathers under the most subtly variable
conditions of light, wind and water."
