Really dig the concepts you very interesting threaded together here. I’ve read a lot of books from the 1970s on fly fishing and in my mind that is an era when fly angling seemed pure but with enough innovations to keep the “sport” exciting. I enjoyed your discussion on the OG origins. Makes me want to dig much deeper into those times. I think a focus on casting, slowing things down, studying entomology etc are such great topics to encourage. Thanks for the nice read.
I totally agree that 1970s fly fishing feels balanced between discovery and innovation and I really enjoy the nostalgia of that era.
But the fact is that angling is still wide open, perhaps more so than ever before. We’ve gained a lot of insights in 50 years, but there is still much to be discovered. We just have to get out there and live it.
If you haven’t read it, check out the book ‘Bush Pilot Angler’ by Lee Wulff. I’m only a few chapters in, but it’s incredible.
