American Gamefowl

I swear the number of people that are full of it is unreal.
I’ve been tying flies for like 16-17 yrs or so and I’m still not all that great at using deer hair. I’ve seen guys that have only been doing it like 5-6 that are better than me. Pisses me off but I wouldn’t pretend to be better just for giggles. It’s best to be who you are imo.

Right there it is...

If it’s not authentic then why would you want to fake it... what value is there in it?

You have value in your own skill at tying little muppet bugs... it’s weird, there’s about 10 of us that have a secret thread about “pampering silkies”, where we actually talk about you and your weird muppet bug thing... ;)

But what value would it be to pretend you were a better bug stitcher? The value is in the knowledge ... not the appearance of having the knowledge...

Maybe authenticity is just that underrated these days? I don’t know?

I came up with folks that would knock you down and help you up, so that you wouldn’t get knocked down again....

I think that’s where authenticity comes from... folks that test you, but support you... And let you know that it’s okay to not know everything.... I think that’s what makes me sad for all these people on here that are talking the nonsense. :idunno
