Having recently purchased a vehicle, I know first-hand that the internet can be a very useful tool when shopping for a vehicle. Ian James is as adept at raising eyebrows as he is at raising fish to take his flies. Women learn flyfishing faster than men. The Thames River is one of North America's best fishing rivers. Carp are the toughest and smartest fish he faces on the river.
Women take instruction better.
As for the Thames, the river is home to 88 species of fish and its smallmouth bass fishery is as good as it gets, a fact well-known by a handful of local enthusiasts. And carp, dismissed as a garbage fish by North Americans but revered by Europeans, are tough to land not only because of their size but because they're smart, says James, who developed flyfishing for the species in Canada. All of this is good news for people who want to take up the sport, especially since trout season opened Saturday and it is one of the rites of spring that gets us thinking about fishing. While Canadian anglers still prefer spinning reels, James says flyfishing is so popular in his native Scotland it ranks second in popularity to soccer. You're constantly doing something.
