"This time I dug out my fly box to show him exactly what I had been using and how I had set up my rig."
This is an all too rare act of generosity, and I appreciate the reminder: I habitually cup my hand around the fly when conversing with anglers on the stream, even though I know it's silly and selfish.
Thanks Steve. I could tell this guy was genuinely interested in being a good fisherman and was curious about how to fish well. I couldn't resist being helpful. It's not always that way... ;-)

Tom, love this. I too love the endless learning that this pursuit delivers me
Thanks Mike. Yes, the learning is a wonderful part, isn't it.
