A few years ago, when I lived in Scotland, I was fly fishing at a wee Loch.

Got talking to this guy about 75 years old, he had a box with 6 flies in it, and caught as much as anyone.

I had boxes of the things, and he said to me, about 5% of fishing tackle is made to catch fish, the rest is made to catch fishermen.

How true is that, seems pipes are going the same way,
