nobody will tell me what lakes you want to change? you guys havent thought about it? jeez.......sounds like a solid plan to me.  |
You just sound like you are whining cause you can't catch any fish in the Bow. Clearly you are not part of the 5% that catches 95% of the fish (if you believe the stats)
You blame fly fishing which is just fishing doing it in a different style. Takes different skills that you might be afraid to try. I do all methods...try and expand your options then you won't feel left out.
One of my best friends uses a spinning rod and catches more fish than I do in the Bow. He has a great time. He can also fly fish but feels more comfortable catching them on a spin outfit. I am sad you can't but maybe with more practice you can.
Most flyfishermen started off spin fishing. For a variety of reasons most flyfishermen just find it a more fun way...maybe more challenging. Don't be afraid...try it.
