"Never Enough Flies"

As Nick Mills observes, the question of whether one has too many flies never surfaces in the fly fisher’s mind. Instead, he wonders only whether he will have enough boxes to hold them. And he offers this sage advice regarding holiday gifts: “Our dear Saint Nicholas, while a sterling chap in many respects, does not seem to know the difference between a Royal Wulff and a Disco Midge, so if you send a wish-list Poleward, be very specific as to pattern, color and size.” In Maine Outdoor Journal.
