It takes a lot of disciple, I've found. I still catch myself saying (at least to myself) "I wish..." But it's a journey not a destination, so I keep plugging along knowing I'm getting better at it each time I try. Best I can do at this stage.
Tom, I hope you are feeling better soon (selfishly so we can get on the water) and I really appreciated the article about Lefty. I think Tenkara is fabulous on small mountain streams going after my beloved brook trout. On the subject of a double taper. When I got back into fly fishing almost two years ago after 20 years everything was weight forward as opposed to the double tapers I had been used to growing up. Which DT line do you recommend?
I'm a big fan of Rio lines but I'm sure I'd struggle to tell the difference between brands in a blind test. More of Chevy - Ford thing. As I write this, a week after the surgery, I'm feeling a whole lot better. If I stay on this path, I should be in good shape to fish soon.
You said, "I’m not going to argue with reality anymore." So, how's that going? It's not an easy thing to do, I find.

Good for you!
