ESPN2 is conducting an online poll with the question:
"Which of the following is the most important tackle detail for cathing
fish?
a. Strong knots
b. Line selection
c. Sharp hooks
d. Lure (or fly) choice
e. Presentation"
I had a tough time deciding myself. If I have sharp hooks and strong knots,
but a crummy presentation, I won't get any fish on. Conversely, if I had
great presentation, but dull hooks and weak knots, any fish I hooked I might
likely lose.
So, fellow List members, how would answer ESPN's question? Just interested
to see how other fly fishers would consider this question.
