Respect the fish

Our fishing guide who was wearing a tweed tie with his tattersall shirt and herringbone tweed cap was impressed when I showed up in a tie as well and said that it is how one should show respect to the fish. I said I wore it in respect of him. Since he used to manage an Orvis store he liked my Orvis flannel as well. We fished a beautiful Beat ( a reserved section of private water) of a few kilometers. The reddish black water looked like flowing Guinness😋. We stopped for lunch and he asked if he should out on a kettle or would we rather have coffee. He also poured us a dram of whisky. Although I’ve been fly fishing for over 36 years I learned how to do a proper European nymph fishing technique with a 2Wt rod set up (caught a small salmon!). We were fishing for wild brown trout. Unbelievable day!
