I know a lot of very nice, fishy fly fisherman. Same with gear fisherman. I don't ask guys swinging fly's how many they have caught because I already know the answer! :lol: I also use a centerpin rod almost 100% of the time for steelhead so gear and fly guys look at me funny.
Ok, thats one video. I'm speaking in general. I have seen a ton of videos even the one you posted here. Whats funny though is the puffy coat he wears, proving my point. You guys are completely missing what I'm saying. I see a lot of comments towards the fly fisherman and micro brews and its completely off topic and not the message i'm trying to convey.Hmmm, I looked but see no micro brews here:
I totally know what you're saying. Even within the fly fishing community theres divides in methods. I've been told I should't even have a fly rod just because I was nymphing. HAHA I'll fish behind you and nymph everything you missedCenter pin'ing does get a lot of strange looks but it's just another (fun) method. Anything beats sitting at home on the couch or doing honey-do lists.
If flossing with a fly rod is how you do it then good for you, but I don't. I have seen fish chase and take a swung fly. Your pretty much saying fly fishing is flossing and if done correctly its not flossing. Sometimes people distinguish something as being negative or incorrect because they aren't good at it or they don't like it.

So can I, I love swinging flies and find it extremely rewarding to hookup in a fish after so much hard work.Naw, we're not missing your point...it's just fun to follow obscure tangents with internet threads. Yes, it's only one video that doesn't illustrate fly guys and microbrew, but that wasn't my point either. I just posted that because, in other unrelated news, it really epitomizes the steelhead endeavor for me...hiking, crawling over rocks, stumbling/falling in the water, standing alone, getting drenched for hours, cast after cast after cast, the missed takes/hookups, then finally...the one fish that stuck. I can relate to all of it
