Hope springs eternal! :)

For over thirty years now, I have been fishing with the fly,

when I started, downstream wet, and then a little upstream with a dry,

I moved on then to streamers, and with these an odd good fish did kill,

and these increased the more I learned, and always were a thrill,

and then one day I met a man fishing very tiny weighted things,

fascinated then I watched, as he caught fish on nearly all his flings.

I rushed down to the tackle shop and bought a set of these fine flies,

and in the intervening years, I have learned to use mostly my own ties,

the flies look perfect, and occasionally I catch a decent fish,

but I am still consumed I fear with one large all embracing wish,

After all these years of trying, I would give anything for the barest glimpse,

of knowledge skill and understanding on how to fish with F***ing nymphs !
