Jimmy, there are actually five stages of the fly fisherman, same as the five levels of music taught by the Sufi. The 4th being when your just glad to be in nature and at peace in the water. And the 5th, the highest level, is when your elated just to know they're (the fish) there. willow.....

"The ancients wrote of the three ages of man, I propose to write of the three ages of the fisherman.
When he wants to catch all the fish he can.
When he strives to catch the largest fish.
When he studies to catch the most difficult fish he can find, requiring the greatest skill and most refined tackle, caring more for the sport than the fish."
