Is the reason I "out-fish" all of my right handed friends due to the fact that I am left handed?
Often feel pity when fishing with right handed people.

Funny you mention it. There was a famous study done out of Orillia Ontario that shows fish have better right vision then left and due to the mirror affect water has on light defraction means flies cast from the left have a 71% increased hooking rate.
My left handed buddy is the exact same way. Most people ignore science in fishing stats so great for you to bring up these facts.
Also rivers flow west to east and a lefty walking upstream casting will gravitate to the southern bank which is shaded and has 74% more fish then the sunny north Bank.
