"The way modern salmon flies swam was pretty bad. Despite having some good characreristics, they did not as a whole perform anywhere near as well as thei were claimed to. The ability of very many modern flies to withstand a current is extremely poor. It appears that nobody is any longer interested in the ability of a fly to swim; anglers have become accustomed to a lifeless fly at the end of the line which is thern worked vigorously. It is doubtful whether any pike angler worth his salt will fish using a wobbler than does not swim through the water. Why, then, should the fly fisherman be so casual about how his fly swims?"
