I saw a fishing show that they took a Old Soviet heilcopter and went to a river in Mongolia to fish for taimen. They were using streamers and having no luck. One of the locals watched with wonder as the American with the $800 fly rod sight casting at a 6' taimen. Then the local ran off in to the brush and came back with a vole tied to a simple line. he tossed it into the pool and Slam the fight was on 20 minutes later he pulled it in Monglian Style. The match the hatch guy in his infinate wisdom tied the biggest mouse...gopher thing he could and started catching fish. The truth is nothing beats local knowledge.
