Its good to have a long history and tradition of fly fishing as we do in the UK, but sometimes these things can also inhibit creativity and innovation, making the sport seem boring and stuffy and only interesting for old men.
In contrast in other parts of the world fly fishing is seen as an exciting and cool thing that snowboarders do when the snow goes away !
To illustrate my point here are a couple of videos. One is an old TV avert from the UK & one is from Frontsidefly in Sweden....
