Jimmy, so true, but they could go on fishing as well without the 'perfect
quarry'.
There ain't no fish off limits now to fly fihermen.
Alligator gars
Paddlefish
Great White Sharks
Sturgeon
Bass & bluegill
Billfish
Tarpon
Pike, muskie
Even non-fish catagories:
Alligators
softshell turtles (and others, but the softshell actually puts up a fight)
snakes (I caught a moccasin on a bluegill fly)
bullfrogs
So if trout were outlawed, we'd all say "OK, what's out there- will it take a
trout fly, or do we need to tie different flies for it?"

If all the trout in the world suddenly disappeared, I know a bunch of folks
who'd go right on with their fly tying as though nothing happened. :-P

"When you are next complaining about the selectivity of trout, bear the thought
in mind: were it not for this fortunate trait, how long would our stream
fishing last?" Art Flick "Streamside Guide" [1947] ****************
