"Now I say he that angles with a line made of three haired links for the bottom, and more at the top, may kill fish, but he that angles with a line made of one haired link, shall kill five to the other's one; for the Trout is very quick-sighted, therefore the best way either for night or day is to keep out of sight."

Thomas Barker  -" Barker's Delight" or "The Art of Angling" [1659]

Makes a lot of sense, even in today's High Tech fly fishing!

Enjoy your evening, morning or whatever!
