The Underground Delivers Absolutely the Final Word on Fly Fishing. (I Knew It All Along.)

A nod to the never-boring Ass Hooked Whitey for putting us onto this one, which serves to reinforce my belief that most fly fishers are going straight to Hell.

Comments, of course, are encouraged. See you at the Pearly Gates, Tom Chandler.

Interesting article from Pennsylvania Trout Unlimited talking about the native brookies and the problems of stocked fish:

http://www.patrout.org/brook.htm

I particularly like this line:

“Hatchery fish are bigger and much more aggressive than wild fish and utter chaos results. The whole orderly system established by the resident fish collapses. Imagine what would happen if your neighborhood was suddenly occupied by a horde of big, ill-mannered, aggressive strangers who had nothing to eat except your food and nowhere to stay but your house.”

The Lord speaks to me. He tells me to get medieval on ‘em with streamers. Great big furry streamers. And mousies. Those are dry flies, aren’t they?

Our interpretation is if you can cast it with your normal casting stroke and split shots and indicators aren’t involved, you’ve got a shot a heaven.

Of course, that’s assuming you don’t fish graphite.

But that’s a whole different sign.

Hmmm. I think I smell a purist. Quick! Everybody run out and buy a silk line for your bamboo. Clean it, and dress it and hang it up when you are not using it. That will get the pagan bastards off our water!

some of us just like to catch fish and not go broke doing it, keeps me grounded(the reason for flyfishing?) at least I don’t chuck worms into their guts. can you honestly say you’ve NEVER touched graphite? and does it REALLY matter that much if we go to hell or heaven, its life.

I don’t mind if someone fishes with worms. Fishing is fishing in my book. I just prefer to do it with a fly rod because I think that is more fun. I particularly like dry flys, because I get a kick out of seeing the fish take the fly. I really don’t care if someone fishes with a $3200 Winston Bamboo or with a $79 Cortland, or anything else for that matter, including fiberglass. It’s none of my business what people fish with, as long as they have a modicum of streamside etiquette, unlike the spin fisherman who, when I turned around, was 20 yards behind me, casting to exactly the spot from which I had just hooked and released a fish (on a nymph, no less). Rather than get in an argument with the guy, I just moved-plenty of stream to go around.
