Angler apathy
There's a bit in Jim McLennan's book Trout Streams of Alberta about when he went to New Zealand and it was an eye opener. The guides weren't obsessed with the latest gear or pattern, their first love was still with the rivers and the trout in them.
Maybe this has changed as the book is from a different Era of fly fishing, but what would it take to get back to that sort of attitude?
