Boote thinks a little darkly to himself on a lovely, sunny, late summer’s morning here in Britain: I believe it did quite enough, I’m sure completely unintended yet lasting and quite possibly irreparable, harm to fly fishing, something that, pre-Movie, was still just about hobbyist organic and non-aspirational if you avoided the tiresome “better clubs and waters” snobs and bores but very soon became mere star guides and look-at-me-ye-puny-nobodies-and-love-me-in-your-not-wholly-sponsored-by-a-Big-Name-omebody-despair newbie celebs, huge Ker-ching! brands and a whole shedload of largely unnecessary new fishy product,, without me needing to know how just how the damned, beautifully faked-up thing was made…
Thinks to himself again: Just post it as bashed out in haste, Paul. Oh yeah, and never look back.

“Start a revolution from my bed.” Good line.
