[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ne thing that can be said about fly fishing, despite the changes in gear, clothing and tackle over the last few decades, is it often becomes a passion for those who learn its charms. Where it once drew a genteel breed to rivers edge or an off-beat lot focused on fooling trout with feather bugs, its appeal is now enjoyed by a highly colorful, discordant audience made up of men and women, young and old, rich and poor, some raucous, some reserved.
“There is a theme this year but it is no doing of ours,” said Doug Powell, one of the principals behind the tour. “It is a kind of respect for those who have come before. It wasn’t a goal when we set out to put together this year’s show, but it just sort of happened.”
