A fish hooked by a fly or a spinner a lure or bait. If careful consideration is shown the quarry, then fish the way you like. I fly fish because I like to.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-82444851519531983992015-02-26T06:41:25.832-05:002015-02-26T06:41:25.832-05:00You bring up an interesting subject Alan about the...You bring up an interesting subject Alan about the evolution of the fly fisherman but I contend that evolution can be interpreted in different ways. <br /><br />You and I both belong to a fishing forum that originates here in Maine and the amount of sarcasm and belittlement directed toward spin fishing or "worm dunkers' is astonishing. Clearly these fly fishermen have de-volved..not evolved. <br /><br />I still carry a spinning rod and continue to enjoy getting back to my roots, fishing for bass or brookies with it. Why at times I absolutely love drifting in my boat with the motor shut down fishing with worm and a strike indicator..er..I mean bobber. <br /><br />I also belong to a forum where most of the members are spinners and they overwhelmingly look at fliers as snobs and holier than thou types. Unfortunately this wide gap between fishing brothers won't be narrowing anytime soon. The way I look at it..the more people who get out and enjoy our sport with whatever technique they enjoy is absolutely essential for its long term health. <br /><br />And to anyone who is interested..go fishing and have fun..penbaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539195518644206210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-2764384407788805872015-02-25T20:38:39.628-05:002015-02-25T20:38:39.628-05:00Brookie61,
