This book is fun, but more than a bit pretentious. To be passionate about a sport is one thing, but delusions of expertise suggest a rather pervasive sense of inferiority. Fishing is fishing. If you enjoy, so be it. Worry not what others think. Those who fish with worms are no worse or better than those who fish with caddis flies. The idea is to enjoy the outdoors. I love to flyfish. That is all that matters!
