Fly fishing is a solitary sport. Even though hordes of fly fishing enthusiasts travel for hours of miles to gather on the banks of their favorite stream on opening day, fly fishing itself is a solitary exercise. Robert Traver captured this concept in his book Trout Madness (Simon & Schuster, 1989).
"... I need not consider the convenience or foibles or state of hangover of my companions, nor, more selfishly, feel any guilty compulsion to smile falsely and yield them a favorite piece of water."
