Seriously, have you run across a fly fisherman who portrays the holier than thou attitude and thinks you are inferior for using spinning gear? I happened upon a fellow who was fishing bait in a lake who was fishing cut bait and worms. He was a very friendly gent who was more than willing to help me understand the nuances of this lake even though I told him I was a fly fisherman. He encouraged me to try some streamers and join him. I did as we talked about bears, scenery, etc. Another bait fishermen stopped by and joined our banter and began to fish with us.
This scenario is not uncommon for me were I live as well. We, (gear, bait, fly, fishermen) work side by side to conserve our waters. I truly feel slighted that you might think of me as holier than thou and I might have some sort of bias against you spin fishing philosophy.
