"The way modern salmon flies swam was pretty bad. Despite having some good characteristics, they did not as a whole perform anywhere near as well as they claimed to. The ability of vary 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 lifless fly at the end of the line which is then worked vigorously. It is doubtful wheter any pike angler worth his salt will fish using a wobbler than does not swim throught the water. Why, then, should the fly fisherman be so casual about how his fly swims?"
