If you're lucky enough to have done any saltwater flats fishing, you know the sort of spaced-out feeling of wading the flats, searching the shallows for anything that might be a fish before it sees you. The big lakes can be a bit like that when the weather's right and the fish are out cruising. Like a dream. As our pal Bhuddachu says, it's champagne fishing, boys.

Only fly fishers know about it.
