Native Son,

Apologies; I didn't mean to withold acknowledgement. I couldn't remember the entire quote, nor which book it was in, which is why I didn't try to quote it, but I should have mentioned his name. Haig-Brown's books sure were an inspiration, for sport, conservation, and the simple elegance of fly fishing. The guy really had his act together. Heard him speak and met him just once, about a year before he passed away.

Tight lines,
