Authors note: I am well aware that flies are not lures. But Paul Simon, for all his contributions to our American music heritage, didn’t write a popular song that allowed for such wordplay.

Most fly fishing articles online and in print are of the “how to” variety. These are very valuable. Reading them teaches you what fly to use, when to use it, and where it should be used. That is indispensable information. Of all the instructional content that an angler might come across, there is some that …
