I wonder why there would be a post in this forum about anything other than Fly fishing. I have been guiding Fly fisherman on the Mighty Bow River since 1980. I have no problem taking SPIN Fisherman down the river in my boat, but it has been my observation that SPIN Fishing is not as effective or pleasurable as Fly Fishing. All other **** slinging aside, This is a FLYFISHING forum.. If you want to sling bait and other crap, I do believe you have your own place to converse. It is not high handed or any other thing. Some Fly Fish, Some Bait Fish..Some could care less .. I guess it all comes down to how you view your sport. I just go out and have as much fun as possible. I don't count Fish. I don't count Money. I count enjoyable experiences. Go On and sling your smelt thumping, Bait Fishing whatever, But not in My Boat. |
Fly Fishing
I do quite well with a fly rod and fly's when I choose to do so,it's just not the be all end all when it comes to fishing:)

I've never seen such a petty, immature and elitist group of people...
I can see some people are being tongue in cheek, but others... Act your age and be happy someone is enjoying fishing. |

But everybody knows the real key to flyfishing is a corn cob pipe and a stupid lookin fedora :sHa_sarcasticlol: |

A little off track, but give the deadly sea trout fly a try, as described---It has caught many huge trout, did really well one day at Police Outpost, The size 18 will lose many but you get to at lease hook some trout--This is the most simple of all to tie.

fly fishing … angling with a line to which only an artificial fly is attached (floats, sinkers, or attracting devices may not be attached to the line when fishing is restricted to "fly fishing only”). artificial fly … a single-pointed hook that is dressed only with fur, feathers, hair, textiles, tinsel and/or wire, and to which no external weight or external attracting device is attached. Two or more hooks tied in tandem is not permitted. Where gear is restricted to artificial flies, floats and sinkers may be attached to the line. Where areas are restricted to “fly fish only” floats and sinkers may not be attached to the line or fly. |
Jeez guys, does it really matter??😎
BTW... I'm elite, I'm a fly fisher. 😈 |

I've been fishing with flies for over 40 years, using every type of delivery possible, yet I'm not a fly fisherman? Lmao. Let me also say this, I found that the movie "River runs through " or whatever its called, was stupid and overrated. IMO. The fish eats the hook the same no matter how its delivered. A bobber is an indicator, the same thing. By the way my 5 year old doesn't care what you think, and I agree. She's catching trout on the fly. So she's not flipping a fly rod but she's catching a dozen trout a day when we get out in the boat. Wrong section, maybe. Wrong reaction by the very few complaining, definitely. |

Confessions of a Fly Fisherman
This is all too funny...
I confess, I do own 2 spinning rods and chuck gear on occassion. My wife also has a couple spinning rods and I do on occassion set her up with a water filled bobber and flies. I'm sorry, I won't do it again and I will hand in my "Elite" card by the end of the day. 😎😫😰😈 |
Nonetheless.....I have never employed the OP technique.........but I know that I will be soon...........thanks coyoteman:)

The Book, a River Runs Through it is thought of as an American Treasure, written by Norman Maclean. The movie was typical Hollywood Crap.
This thread has 2 sides and no winner. My Boat is always full BTW. I have spent over 1,800 days, on the Bow , In a Drift Boat. I have guided the rich and famous, the poor and happy and always have a smile on my face. I only respond to say that it is perfectly acceptable to fish in any manner that you choose. The rest of this thread is just shack nasties , and I could not care in which way you choose to fish. BTW, it does not take long to be a proficient caster, but a lifetime to fully understand the dynamic of Flyfishing. Eventually, all things merge into one, and A River Runs Through it.. I am haunted by Waters... |
