I think the difference between a "good" fisherman and a "great" fisherman is to be diversified. A good fisherman can stand at blue creek or reiter and get a fish everyday IF they are in. A great fisherman doesnt put up with the crowds, he can go were there are less fish and less fisherman and do just as good as "Captian Flog."

Personally, i like to fish remote stretches of river were there are less fish and hardly any fisherman, but i will fish the more popular runs if there are good numbers available.

It all boils down to being at the right place at the right time =)
