When I was young, I was really fascinated by my dad fishing tackle box. It seemed to me that he had the most wonderful and varied fishing supplies you could imagine. He could trick any fish there was with his fishing tackle, or so I thought. He had many different flies and lures, most of them custom and hand-tied made by him. Except for the basics like fishing line, no one bought their own fishing supply equipment in those days. Every good fisherman made their own. It wasn't just a matter of quality, but of pride. It appears like, with the rapid advance of fishing supplies, a lot of the sport has been taken out of it these days. I went on a fishing trip with a friend, a fairly wealthy individual who possesses his own motor yacht. He actually has a GPS fishfinder, a weather radar gear, and various type of sophisticated equipment to find the schools of fish. With him, finding fish isn't an art anymore. t is not a matter of instincts, of sport or luck. It is only a matter of cold hard science - following the manual and letting the technology do the rest. To me, this takes all the fun out of it. I dicussed this with him, and he told me it was only a matter of him owning more sophisticated fishing supplies than my dad had. He claimed that had they offered GPS fishfinders in fly fishing stores in my father's time, everyone would have purchased them. They wouldn't have wasted time with hand tying their own fishing lures if they could at once identify where to get the fish. I see things differently, however. The opportunity to commune with nature, in my mind, is what my father loved so much about fishing. Yes he was out there to catch fish, but in the process he had to know everything on the stretch of river. He had to be familiar with every ondulation and what it signified, when the fish came out, how precisely to land the line, and which fishing equipment to take in which part of the year. It was a meditative activity that involved his whole mind. In order for him to succeed at it, everything had to be done perfectly. It wasn't only a matter of watching the radar and dropping a line.
