Default responsible flyfisherman?

Do flyfisherman have their line snapped off by rock, big fish, etc? Your
line breaks, your line is going to be in the water (snagging fish)
basically forever.


Yes, I've lost 18 - 24 of FC, but I have never seen a fish tangled in it, and I
do a helluva lot of fishing and catching. FC also degrades, perhaps not as
fast as mono, but it does degrade. You should be more concerned over spin
fishers dumping tangled bird's nests in the water. If you want to tilt at
windmills, go after the bait chuckers who leave all kinds of garbage on the
shore/water, including tons of mono.
