Back in the 19th century the Flyfisher's Club was formed in the south of England. Dry fly fishing was, then, absolutely the cutting edge of angling and the members of the Flyfisher's Club (by invitation only) were the greatest, most innovative anglers of their generation, the club had a motto "Piscator non solum Piscator", literally "there's more to fishing that catching fish". And I believe that is the philosophy of BFS. Yes, you can cast further with spinning rods, catch more fish on bait, buy cheaper gear that catches fish. But good BFS gear is joy to fish with, it's engineering to admire, tackle to take pride in, experience you want to share and teach. Surely everything we could want fishing to be. Only a fool denies catching fish isn't the point of the exercise, but the journey to that goal should be as pleasurable as the destination if not more so.
Thanks for your wonderful comment! I started out as a flyfisherman. The reason I am not making fly fishing videos is that there are not enough people interested in fly fishing. Actually I am better at fly casting than anything else. I am glad that you understand fishing well. Thanks again!
Bonsoir et merci pour cette vidéo et se très bon sujet , j'aborde l'art de la pêche et les techniques de la pêche à la mouche et du casting BFS comme une philosophie ,presque un art de vivre ; pour moi se sont des techniques qui sont le juste prolongement du bras et de l'esprit ; Cordialement , Alain de FRANCE
