I'll bite- 1. Nymph fisherman goes upstream - because the most effective method is up and across. Conversely, across and down is a good dry fly method particularly for caddis. 2. Nymph fisherman - he is more likely to catch more and bigger fish so his lies will be smaller 3. The dry fly fisherman will come back on time. He will be having a worse day and he is out of cigars 4. Could go either way but a dry fly purist is likely to want only the best 5 See 3
