I'd have to agree with Mike..... but......... I wonder if there's an idea for a fishing shoot-out
US vs UK stillwater patterns, 6 flies in common use from each country, two fishers one fishery/water. Two fishers toss a coin and winner gets 1st choice of US/UK patterns. The two anglers then spend a day fishing the flies and see which come out on top
Pete organises such an event across the 'Pond' and Mike (seem like a good choice to me
) organises a similar event over here
OK - way too many variables to make this a 'scientific' challenge.... but could be good for a laugh
