Glo Bugs

I suppose I cheat with my Silver Doctors, Ausable Wulffs and Royal
Coachmen because I have never seen a hatch of any of them. There are
more definitions of fly fishing than one can shake a rod at.
Match-the-hatch is certainly an honorable and now dominant form of fly
fishing, but I don't think it is the only one.

I once got into a heated argument at the old Muskie No-Kill since I
was using a rod with single foot guides. The other guy's contention was
that fly rods must only use snake guides and fishing with Hendrickson
dry flies, a standard DT line and leader, and a Pfleuger Medalist reel
could under no circumstances be construed as fly fishing if single foot
guides were used on the rod (for full disclosure I was using a 12 ft two
handed rod I built about 15 years ago on a lark (couldn't find a two
handed rod in the local stores in those days, and decided to check out a
12' rod and single foot guides for the first time) and it did look like
an odd duck to conventional fly guys not used to seeing those long rods.
When asked why it was not a fly rod, the only thing the complainer
could offer was the single foot guide thing). It was one of many times
I wished a CO had wandered by. (BTW, he was using a cone-head orange
muddler that I could have cast across the Delaware with my spinning
rod).

I think it is time to take the fly fishing definition to the US Supreme
Court for a definitive answer!

Who knew my question about glo bugs would spark such controversy?

From the Book "Trout Madness"

Successful fly fishing for trout is an act of high deceit; not only
must the angler lure one of nature's subtlest and wariest creatures, he
must do so with something that is false and no good - an artificial fly.
Thus fake and sham lie at the heart of the enterprise. The amount of
Machiavellian subtlety, guile, and sly deception that ultimately becomes
wrapped up in the person of an experienced trout fisherman is faintly
horrifying to contemplate. Thus fiendishly qualified for a diplomatic
career he instead has time only to fish. So lesser diplomats continue to
grope and bumble and their countries continue to fall into war. The only
hope for it all, I am afraid, is for the Lord to drive the trout
fishermen into diplomacy, or else drive the diplomats to trout fishing.
My guess is that either way we'd be more apt to have peace.: the
fishermen-turned-diplomats would hurriedly resolve their differences on
the trout stream so that they might return to their fishing, while the
diplomats-turned-fishermen would shortly become so absorbed in their new
passion they'd never again find time for war.

Robert Traver aka(John D. Voelker) 1960

That part sounds Corndog explaining it to MACFLY after a 12 pack of
Budweiser without the slurs.

Well being that the author was a supreme court justice I dont know if
that is a compliment or a dig?

And now for something completely different....

Plagiarism at its finest.. maybe? (? thats for you FF)


Or, to me it just sounded like Corndog after a twelve pack of Bud.


Rather listen to his dribble... than his singing....

No it isn't.

While Travers was a judge, he was never a Supreme Court Justice, unless it
was the Michigan Supreme Court.

So now I've come to the conclusion that if I want to find my way to Cd's
honey holes it's not footprints in the snow I should be following but
rather discarded glo bugs.
