Saltwater fly fishing, almost unknown a few years ago, has recently become extremely popular. It offers new challenges to experienced anglers and, like freshwater fly fishing, has the reputation of being the "thinking man's" method of fishing. I'm not sure that saltwater fly anglers are really any more intelligent, creative, or reflective than their spin-fishing colleagues, but one thing is certain: it's a totally different sport, requiring different equipment and techniques. Saltwater flies are extremely lightweight lures that imitate baitfish, insects, or crustaceans.

The term for this observation is inattentional blindness (IB), which means that you are being blind to something that you are not paying attention to (Mack & Rock, 1998). To study this phenomenon, a person should be given an attention-demanding task and during this task an unexpected stimulus should show up. If this person confirms he or she has not seen the stimulus, IB has occurred (Mack & Rock, 1998).

Psychological Assessment and Management of Chronic pain Evaluating a chronic pain condition from a biological perspective is limiting, and often fails to fully explain the patient’s symptoms. In contrast to the biomedical model, which explains pain purely in terms of pathophysiology, the biopsychosocial model views pain, suffering and disability, as the result of dynamic interactions among biological, psychological, behavioral, social, cultural and environmental factors. Consequently, assessment requires not only the examination of the biological dimension, but of the psychological and social dimensions as well. A patient’s experience of pain and response to any treatment for pain are affected not only by biologically determined nociceptive (nervous system transmission) processes, but also by psychological factors such as mood (for example, depression, anxiety) and appraisals (thoughts and beliefs about the pain), as well as by psychosocial factors such as the responses of others (for example, family, friends,
