niche rods and shitty fly swaps

I don't really know where I'm gonna go here

I read some crazy shit sometimes penned by warped minds

what is a niche rod?

a rod that fit you niche?

if that's the case why is it an anomaly?

sounds to me like the right rod for the job

you could say my first string bamboo fly rod is a niche rod

cause it fit my itch - whoopsie niche

7ft 3wt is perfect for me nearly everywhere I go

I was unfortunate enough to watch a fly swap evolve over the course of a year

and finally come to fruition

the whole thing was ridiculous

and nearly half the flies are hideous

which is the problem w/ fly swaps

don't get me wrong I'm not dissing the efforts of lesser tyers

they are doing the right thing strengthening they game playing w/ the big boys

shit needs to be acknowledged as shit and not praised

take off the kid gloves and tell it like it is

shit work needs to be improved upon and not lauded or encouraged

there's a lesson there I could learn maybe

I fuck things up from time to time

but try to always make them better

I may write more on this because there's more to the story
