Filosophy of Phishing - 8

Fishing lures should not be multiplied without necessity.

This proposition makes a lot of sense. When I come home with another new lure, my wife probably has this in mind when she asks,"Don't you already have enough lures?"

 

The answer is,"No." But I am not sure why.

 

Sure I remember the simple kit of 6-7 lures I used to pack in to the Canadian Bush for a one week paddle:

 

Dying Minnow

Rapala 100

U20 Flatfish yellow

Muddler Jig with Jig Spin

Red/White Spoon

#3 Mepps Bucktail

 

I guess fishing was simpler then.

In the infertile waters of the Canadian bush and the short warm water season, fish seldom pass the opportunity to feed. 6 lures is all you need. In the rest of the civilized world, where the fish can be more picky and where space and weight limitations are not as much a concern, there is no limit on the number of potential fish catching lures that can/should be in you tackle box.

My answer is, "Don't you already have enough shoes"

 

This generally ends said conversation.
