Glo Bugs
 

C Dog,
I get what you're saying about being just a bug fisherman, but a lot of
people use streamers, attractors, and other patterns that may not
resemble an actual bug. To say they are not "fly" fisherman I think
would be busting a lot of people's balls. What about salt water fly
fishing, where I mostly use streamers that resemble bait. Is that not
fly fishing? PS: All in good fun.

BB,

As you said...lets keep this fun everyone.

I think we would all agree that fly fishing is all methods of fishing
with a fly rod and reel. Except for techniques where bait, snagging,
and lining are involved. I hope none of you use worms on a fly rod.

Personally, when I see someone using glo bugs (unsented), I have no
problem with it. But, I do say to myself..."He's taking the easy way
out." Cause anyone, even my 7 year old, can catch trout on a glo bug.

When it comes to streamers, I am inexperienced, so I stop and watch
guys fishing this technique, to see if I can learn something new.

I think one of the main reasons I've stuck with fly fishing, where as
I've pretty much given up bass fishing, is it's diversity. Everytime I
go to the NJ Fly Fishing Show I learn something new at the seminars.
For example; last year I attended a seminar by Ed Engle and learned a
nymphing technique I've never seen before.

What a great sport we've chosen huh...or did it choose us?
