PRECISELY!!!

not trying to start anything, no flammage here!

but i do agree with that angle, that the guys who are the best
and the most proficient anglers CAN DO it ALL!!

from meat, to wood, to flies, to dynamite

and, btw, there isn't a wrong answer here, just opinions and thoughts
based on one's perspective. i relish and welcome any and ALL answers.

it's what makes us a diverse and informative community;
not just sum boring clique of single-minded fishbototrons

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

totally agree with the idea that the best guys know how to do it all.
Bottom line though, the BEST guys know how to FIND the fish consistantly, THAT'S what makes a good striperman IMO.
I don't care if you catch them with french fries!
