I used to keep a journal, but I haven't had that kind of time for a while. IT was helpful when I tournament fished, but most of that info I keep in my head now. Sort of. Halfsheimers you know. If you fish long enough, like everything else you do long enough, a lot of that becomes ingrained. One way it would help fly fishing is matching the hatch w/out capturing; if you have enough data from the particular water, or type of water, weather conditions, time of year & food sources for that location you'll have enough info to come close. Knowing the terrain is more helpful to me now.

What do you use? What information do you list? Has it been beneficial?
