And you're standing knee deep in a beautiful rip  You see a trout rise to an unknown fly   Then your heart starts to thump and you wonder why    You're a neophyte fly fisherman.     You can measure the cast and study the lie      Then lengthen the line to make your first try       As you check the rod to get a good presentation        You hold your breath in solemn anticipation         You must be a fly fisherman!          The fly floats gently on its way to the trout           You know it will "take it" without a doubt.            You're all charged up and ready to strike             But the fly floats by because something's not right              You are still a fly fisherman.               You open your fly box and select a new fly                Then lengthen the tippet before the next try                 Change your position to help with the cast                  And hope you have made the right decision at last                   Now you are a doubtful fly fisherman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
