[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"There comes a time in the life of every fly fisherman when using midges 
is a necessity if one wants to catch trout.  At one time the term 
"midge" was used only to describe the tiny Diptera insects, and midge 
patterns were specifically designed to imitate them.  Now we use the 
term loosely to describe not only the Diptera, but just about any 
relatively small fly, regardless of what it imitates. Charlie Fox calls 
it " The Art of Diminution", Vince Marinaro called it "Pretty Fishing".

"Being able to read trout streams is just as valuable to a fly fisherman as the ability to 
read a defense is to an NFL Quarterback."
