"It has been said that one's true character is determined by what they 
do when no one is watching them. What would you do if you'd thrown every 
last fly in your fly box, including your complete assortment of hoppers, 
at a big Bow to no avail? Then you see a juicy grasshopper jump off the 
bank, only to be immediately inhaled by a big bow. Then several more 
hoppers land on your arms and began crawling all over you. What would 
you do? Stand there like an idiot, while muttering to yourself, "I don't 
use live bait", or would you grab one of those naturals and impale it on 
one of your flies? " No question what I'd do, and my character would not 
be impuned, for I'd do it, no matter who was watching me."
