Is fly fishing just you, a rod, and a fish?
In one sense, it is. But in a much broader, more realistic way of thinking about things it certainly is not. There are a lot more people doing what you do, and being a part of that culture is not only unavoidable but enriching.
Today I cover some important subject matter in the periphery of the fly fishing image. Things like literature and conservation aren't directly in the cast+bug=trout equation, but they have been, are, and will be what makes fly fishing what it is.
Whether you've been angling forever or just getting started, it is worth thinking about how you're part of a community of people who happen to like chasing fish with long rods.
