Ok, here's the question: what is the significant difference,
between a San Juan Worm and a Sandy Juan Worm?

The context appears below the photo:

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.

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...
