Mission Statement...What the Hell Is That?

Last updated on Fri, 10/28/2011 - 11:35am.

 

Whether proprietors admit it or not, there is an extensive learning curve to fly fishing. To be proficient, an angler must embrace the journey -- spend hours on the river, learn to read water, understand fish behavior, hatch cycles, learn successful patterns, and focus on repetition.

Without question, we are in one of those cycles. The good news...everything's going to be just fine...eventually. The river's seen far worse in recent history and just as with every previous flood, the river, its quality of fishing, and pleasing scenery will recover in short order (and by short order I don't mean this month...but probably sooner than later).

I received an email recently requesting further clarification on fall river structure terminology. As it turns out, this is a great topic for a quick post.

In the day to day rigmarole of balancing fly orders, updates, and the like I often lose sight of the fact that while many may enjoy the site content, some have no idea what I’m talking about.  That said, here’s a crash course on our site terminology.
