Most Challenging Fishing According to Barta:
I read a recent, last page type article he wrote stating that flyrodding a salmon out of its fast moving and treacherous waters is his definition of the most difficult and challenging....And, second, he mentioned surf casting striped bass. I slightly disagree; the night game and equally or more treacherous geography of the coastline, tides and winds, cannot be rated equivalent to a salmon river.
Barta also said that he loves blue water fishing the best, but, how hard is it to sit around on a big boat in relative comfort, for hours on end, while awaiting the challenge of pulling off a smoothly executed "bait and switch" for a billfish hookup? Barta, IMO, is a sage in this realm of our sport fishing avocation.
