So today I had the joy of having a conversation with a rather famous writer/flyfisherman... and the subject of beads came up.. yeah that old chestnut,he said beads are for lazy newbies, so I said " well if your gonna throw a truck and trailer set-up under a thingamabobber on a boron rod you might as well use bait" and he hung up on me... Im just a dirty beader I guess, but if you can't take the heat... stay out of the kitchen. So, if you had to pick one fly or aspect of flyfishing that you had to vote to make illegal for fly only water... what would it be? I pick foam on dryflies- please do not be insulting in your responses in this thread, but being passionate is a virtue I do not wish for you to restrain-
I say outlaw anything that isn't pure and natural on fly only water.. silk/horse tail lines, bamboo rods only, no synthetic fly materials or bobbed/strike indicator ... anything developed since 1930's can't be used.. even wader and wading boots apply.
Ive fished a lot of so called "world class" fly water, and have never met a more boring or un inspiring group of fishers than the N Umpqua double hander cult... makes the guys over on the big D look like Hospitality majors-
....and non of these zip up the front waders either. Makes me think of something designed for Victoria Secrets or for men who can't hold their beer.
No Randy you're good! Eggs said anything developed since 1930 can't be used.That puts me off the water! :lol:

Wow you guys are ripping everything that I love. I wear a so called Lanyard and also a vest and I use split shot, and my waders have a zipper, not because I can't hold my beer, but because I don't want to have to get undressed to fn pee, but what the F. I catch a **** load of fish and I don't give a shiz what you all think. As far as fly only water I agree that split shot is a no go, and foam is crap. Those two handers are a very boring self centered fishermen?? Most of them won't even give you the time of day if you just say hey to them. I will throw a bead under a thingamabobber all day long if it is catching fish. One thing I have never understood is why the hell all the controversy over fishing anyway. If u can catch them the way you like to fish then screw those na Sayers. I have been in a lot of heated arguments over fishing and fishing styles and I have to say that at the end of the day what you have done is gone fishing, isn't hat enough. I don't like those that litter their gear all over the river and the woods, but that is not only gear guys but fly guys also. Those fly guys don't think they litter but I would bet all those 2 or 3 foot sections of leader they leave behind several times a day on the banks adds up over time.
whoooa, If you read the firts post you would know the precurser to this post was me having a nice fun conversation with someone I thought was above this very kind of ****... and he became insulting to the bead culture I reside in, so I slammed his in a joke.. poor baby couldn't take it, this forum has been very boring lately and I wanted to see a thread people could have fun with, and everyone knows if you want to see a conversation go nuts bring up personal views in fly fishing... its all in fun, more or less making fun of ourselves as a group effort.. this thread should not be taken personal. a lot of folks think religion and politics should never be talked about in a bar becouse its too passionate and controversal, there has never been a more controversial or opinionated topic in history as how to catch a fish right... so this thread didn't start it, but it mocks it.... I wear zipper waders, throw shot, swing chickens, drift thingamabobbers drink beer and sometimes wear a funny hat, but no matter what anyone says... a lanyard with 6 spools of tippet a knot tier, pliers, floatant, sinkant, sunglasses two empty film containers that used to be full of weed, a lighter and 14 other things is gay.... big fat man huggin gay- this is a thread about making fun of our own... and ourselves, and the hypocracy of telling anyone how they can fish.... sorry if that offends anybody-Wow you guys are ripping everything that I love.
