Shorty,
Yep, I fished Lake of the Ozarks many times long before "pros" were ever even a dream. Fished Table Rock with plastic worms before the lake and the plastic worm were "discovered". In fact, have probably fished every public water system in Southwest Missouri. I didn't need 250 hp then to catch fish, nor do I need them now....but to each his own.
The older I get the less "stuff" I want or need. Just give me a couple of feathers, a hook, and fly rod and I'll catch my share of fish....heck don't even have to have the fly rod, for that matter.
I don't know why the "stuff" is no longer important to me, but it is just not important...does not mean anyone else is wrong, just means I'm getting older, I guess.
