More Things We Don't Understand

To start off the week, let's get back to things we just don't get. Things like taking a picture of every fish you catch, staring at said fish like you're mad in the photo, Bull Trout anglers and muscle shirts, all that stuff.
Another thing that completely confuses us would be the whole program of paying for (buying) friends on Facebook. For a fee, Facebook will generate friends for your business Facebook page. So, if a fly shop (whether it's the friendliest, coolest, whatever) is willing to pay, their Facebook page can get thousands of extra friends. we can't go on Facebook to maintain our page without some sort prompt to pay for likes, friends, etc.

This is likely one more example of most of us around here being dinosaurs but screw that. Somewhere along the line we're pretty sure that all of our mothers taught us something about buying friends.

Resignation would best describe our attitude to the evolved necessity of social media like Facebook for the fly fishing retail sector. Nobody (almost) pays attention to anything but social media anymore.
Some us can remember a time when individuals in the sport were respected for knowledge, experience,and the like.

Now the sport, portrayed on social media, looks like a pinup calendar. It's no longer necessary to know anything of consequence or actually have time spent on the water, just so long as you look like you do (or be blonde).
Like the sign on our front door says "Facebook Ruined Flyfishing".
