Here's one of those flying fishing 'bums' who do everything right and catch-and-release all day long, while my Woolly Bugger goes neglected for hours. This is the barbless area just below the Bull Shoals Dam, last week, just before we embarked on our two-day paddle from Norfork to Sylamore Creek. The name of this fisher is being withheld pending his revealing to us how the hell he catches fish like this on a fly with such calm panache.
