Big water fishing is exactly the same as small stream fishing if you break up the larger water into smaller sections.

Yep, and works the other way too for us dink enthusiasts, when someone calls something like Valley Creek a "small stream".
Someone mentioned dividing the river up onto smaller streams.Not sure how well that works and iit's not possible in many many sections. Look at Stockport riff on main stem of D. IIt's 250'-350' wide and the riff is over a 1/2 mile long. It would take a month or two to 'grid it off' and fish it. Looking at waterr, reading quickly allows you to cover it quickly and efficiently. Floating through in 30 minutes and picking up 2 fish is more enjoyable to me than spending 9 hours pounding it on foot to get 1-2 fish.
Some sections of the D may fish totally different than others on any given day. If you compare notes at the end of the day with other that fished the River, it never ceases to amaze me how different the fishing and hatches (or lack thereof) is on any given day. This can occur in areas not really that far apart.

Maybe just maybe most anglers don't take themselves as seriously as a few do. To talk about getting a laugh at what others are doing is the essence of the elitist stereotype of fly fishing. Personally fishing is not a challenge. It's just fishing. Sometimes you catch a lot sometimes you don't. It's just flat out enjoyable. I agree with Tomitrout. Fishing is fishing, water is water, and fish are fish. I'm quite sure If you watch me all day you will wet yourself laughing at some point.
And you can have this same experience on the Letort, the Breeches, Spring or Penns...
