The upper McKenzie is a classic example of this. There are quite a few guys who just know how to floss extremely well and they admit it. Kind of makes me mad when I talk to them and they are like "I hooked five this morning but didn't get any to the bank", then I know its going to be a tough day getting them to bite. :lol: Then again there are those there that are drifting corkies and bait and other gear that gets them bit. It works out for me because they come down to a hole, lose their gear four times, get mad and move on. I sit there and watch for a while then proceed to catch fish.
Thats a pretty ignorant statement. I think float fishing can or is equally effective or sometimes even more effective in certain areas. Sounds like your fishing meat holes anyways. From what I see is most meat holes are full of corkie and yarn ONLY fisherman and at least half of the fish are lined. But Im not saying I dont fish in those areas with corkie and yarn. Just a lot of the guys that are are SNAGGERS. There I said it.
BTW... I catch more steelhead drifting yarn flies and glo bugs than any other method. I just don't use corkies unless Im floating bait.
Wow Mike! I could think I was at the other board for a second. I went from being "sensitive" to to being a meatholeing, ignorant, snagger. Dude, do you have bad manors or are you just unfriendly? All I said was in my opinion drift fishing is more effective. My opinion. Use whatever you want I dont care. I am a good and ethical fisherman. I dont care for what you are implying about me. I thought OFF was better than this. Like I said I thought i was ifish'n for a second.
I didn't call you anything THE JEFF. Don't be so sensitive... :lol:
Not implying anything about anyone. Just stating a fact that in meat holes that is what everyone uses and half or more aren't fishing legit. I said I fish those same holes myself, but Im not implying that I am unethical either. Im sure you do put a lot of fish in the freezer using corkie and yarn.
Actually you DID imply that that I fish meatholes and you flat out said I made an"ignorant statment" . You should choose your words a little more carefully, Id hate see you offend someone with a hotter temper than mine.
I never said one method was better I said more fish ars taken with corkies than other methods on local rivers, from the bank. I fish a lot and have for a long time so I feel pretty confident In my statement, not ignorant at all. I fish from my boats and from the bank and use a lot of differant methods I dislike poachers and dont agree with useing corkies in still water. My favorite way to fish is bobber and eggs. I also do not drink beer nor do not have a perticularly bad temper. I just thought the guys on this site were a better and more polite bunch than at that other site. I would hate to be wrong about that.
Says the jig and float salesman. Give me a break. Some people are bad and do bad things but to say useing corkies isn't fishing is B.S.Now I hope you can brainwash some of the newer fishermen on this fine board (and it seems to be the majority on here) and sell lots of your pretty jigs but lets at least try to be realistic. Corkies catch fish.
Says the jig and float salesman. Give me a break. I have caught more salmon and steelhead than most guys and I am not a snagger. And I primaraly use corkie and yarn with and without bait. I have some of the most violent strikes from chinook,coho and chum,on corkie and yarn. Salmon do bite corkies!!!! All who use them are not flossers,snaggers or what ever you want to call them. Some people are bad and do bad things but to say useing corkies isn't fishing is B.S.Now I hope you can brainwash some of the newer fishermen on this fine board (and it seems to be the majority on here) and sell lots of your pretty jigs but lets at least try to be realistic.
