"Surprisingly, many anglers are ashamed to admit that they fish with
live bait. You'll run into one of these so-called purists on a trout
stream and ask him what he's using. He'll say, "a Number thirty-two
Royal Coachman on a three-ounce leader" Then he'll get a bite, snap his
line out of the water, and there will be a worm on his hook. "That's the
problem with these tiny flies," he'll say. "You keep catching worms with
them."
Patrick McManus "They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?"
