" It is well kown that no person who regards his reputation will ever
kill a trout with anything but a fly. It requires some training on the
part of the trout to this method. The uncultivated, unsophisticated
trout in unfrequented waters prefers the bait; and the rural people
whose sole object in going a-fishing appears to be to catch their meal,
indulge them in their primitive taste for a worm. No sportsman however,
will use anything but the fly, except when he happens to be alone."
Charles Dudley Warner, 1862
