The context appears below the photo: http://montana-riverboats.com/Pages/...rms/index.html I've been a long time lurker but I think I have something to contribute to this thread. I would argue that fly fishing is defined by the rod and flyline. These are definitely unique. Anything that you cast with a fly rod/line constitutes flyfishing. I might add the style of reel and how one manipulates the line when playing a fish also contributes to the definition of "fly fishing". Conversely, hanging a "fly" of a spherical red and white bobber which you "chuck" with a spin cast rig is definitely NOT fly fishing. You might add to this by suggesting that the thing on the end of the line has to be hand made by the fisherman but in my mind, that's a weak and distant second argument. Steve Ok, hit some "flyfishing only" water tossing a Mepps spinner with your flyrod and see if the Rangers don't get all excited about your definition of flyfishing. And tossing a bubble and fly with spinning gear is certainly flyfishing - albeit in a rather primitive form - at least according to many state F&W regulations. imo, both your definitions are broken... /daytripper |
