I know what you're thinking. Why is a fly fisherman making a thread about powerbait.:think: It's not because I'm trying to stir the pot by pitting bait guys against the fly and lure guys, it's because I am genuously curious why one would choose to fish with it. Ok...Ok...I know....it catches lots of fish but are you really getting the most out of the experience? Does plunk fishing really do it for you?If one were to bait fish why not use crickets or grasshoppers? Or bloodworms? It just seems Powerbait has made it more convenient to bait up. Can someone enlighten me?
More reasons:
-Fly fishermen fish to catch fish, bait fishermen fish to eat fish.
-Fly fishermen go home to tie more flies when they run out of flies, bait fishermen open another jar of powerbait.
-Fly fishermen adjust to nature, hide behind bushes, walk for miles to enjoy and release a fish, bait fishermen change the position of their chairs to get more/less sun.
-Fly fishermen drink from flasks, bait fishermen drink from coolers.
I still have more Jim
- Fly fisher persons pick up bait containers on the sides of fisheries
- Powerbait fisher persons leave bait containers on the sides of fisheries
So quick... haha

That's a blanket statement that is not true. Not all bait peeps leave trash behind. I pick up other peeps trash whenever I see it. I'm sure that others do too.
It's akin to saying that we're all booze guzzlers too. But, were not. I don't drink at all...whether I'm fishing or not.
Thats true too.......and a good point. But seriously, have you ever found an empty peacock herl package? JK TD
)) Fly tiers sitting on the banks of small creeks with a vise and bags of fur are really common on your neck of the woods I presume?
I don't think there is a right or wrong. I use bait and swing flies. They all have their place in my backpack!
