Confidence - Your Secret Weapon
Sometimes, all that’s lacking is confidence in your own abilities to make your fly fishing trips more successful.
It will keep you from getting flustered and making bad decisions, so you’ll do a better job of picking the right pattern for the conditions and just the right hole to cast into. Confidence will help you cast more accurately, kiss the surface of the water with your presentation, and detect the strikes. Confidence will help you develop consistency and that, in turn, leads to even more confidence.
If nothing else, approaching your day on the stream with a confident attitude can help you be more persistent.
How Confidence in Fly Fishing leads to more success on the stream…

Sometimes its about fishing the wrong fly but with confidence as well. My friend often uses small flies and catches plenty of fish. I use a great big parachute, when a fish is refusing my fly he will tell me to switch to something smaller…but if i keep at it and fish confidetally with my fly I know th efish will eventually come !
Usually, it is all about presentation than actual fly type!

Alistair,
Thanks for the comment, and congratulations on the upcoming nuptials.
Rather than the pike fishing you’ve been doing lately, maybe you could convince the bride to honeymoon in New Zealand?…
Their whole season is ahead of them.
