But I do suspect that there is a top tier of anglers who simply spend more time on the water than most. As a result they catch far more fish than an equally skilled angler who is on the water far less. <br />Cheers,<br />WillWill Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679946752061021543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439150239233085035.post-26254846575397271252012-01-28T19:38:48.039-07:002012-01-28T19:38:48.039-07:00I've been tossin flies a long time and I would...I've been tossin flies a long time and I would say the 90/10 rule was true in the old days but in more recent times I don't think it is the case. I used to brag and to put my money where my mouth is bet anyone $100 I could out fish them, but there are a lot more men and women out there that are pretty damn good at tossin flies. I haven't made that statement in a long time. Unless you count the time a few years back when I had a bit (just a bit) to much bourbon to drink.Montana Wooly Buggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734363023158137534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439150239233085035.post-11387203126464613692012-01-28T10:57:38.616-07:002012-01-28T10:57:38.616-07:00Thanks, Josh, good winter fishing to you as well!

I've become a bit more methodical in MT, due to the fact that I've found (spooked) trout - sometimes large trout - holding in water that I would never have thought to fish.Will Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679946752061021543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439150239233085035.post-51720694376926089582012-01-26T09:49:20.514-07:002012-01-26T09:49:20.514-07:00Fish the best and skip the rest.

Ninety-ten is a bit extreme IMO, but is probably close to accurate during the winter, and again during and after runoff when fish are stacked on the banks.Johnnoreply@blogger.com
