Confidence in Fly Fishing by Cameron Larsen - Fly Fishing Articles:

For those of you who, like me, have memories of fishing that pre-date memories of school, think back to as many fishing partners and trips as you can. Even those people you only went fishing with once. Then try to recall times where the success or failure of a fly fisherman seemed to lie strictly on the fly fisherman's confidence. If you think about it in these terms, I bet you can remember numerous times when an angler's confidence, or lack thereof, either doomed them or buoyed them until they started catching fish.
