This is the third of my 10 commandments of fly fishing and you can apply it in which ever way it helps you.
3. Put in some effort.
Put some effort in your fishing. Be willing to stay up an extra 30 minutes to tie a leader or tippet setup in the evening. Drive the extra 5 or 10 or 30 minutes to get to the water - or a special stretch of water. The effort that it takes to hike the extra 10-15 minutes or half hour to get to a secret stream or spot that you heard about. It might be a dud (that happened a lot to me), but you might see the most amazing sites along the way.
10 fly-fishing commandments
I am by no means the world’s best fly fisher, or the best fly tyer, but I have taught many people to fish as well as hundreds of school kids. Up to a couple hundred have attended my Nymphing Master Classes.
I have heard so many times: "I cannot fish", "I cannot cast", "I do not know where to fish", "I wonder how that guy catches so many fish"
I developed my 10 commandments of fishing, that I normally try and share with people along the way.
