You tell 'em, SF. ;-)


Don't encourage him SF, he's bad enough as he is.

BTW, any you turkeys give up on the bobber yet? I've seen the light
and I've become a reformed nympher -- no more bobbers for this lad.

Come to think of it, **** on the nymphs as well -- wets all the way
(emergers actually).

d;o) Didn't I see Mr. Charles using a SI on the Saugeen about four weeks ago?

BTW, I promise to finish that film this week if the sun ever comes out.
Probably take lots of pictures of the new RS-6. Took it to the track on
Monday. I've never been in a car, including a race car, that goes that fast so
quickly. I'll post the pics of your beautiful Saugeen Salmon that you caught
on a strike indicator.

Bite me Louie

That prime specimen was taken on a magnificent rendition of a
classically tied spey fly on the end of a traditional down-and-across
swing. And I have its mangled remains to prove it. At no time did a
bobber ever adulterate my line.

You, OTOH, rolled a bloody great egg, underneath a bloody great
bobber!!!!

BTW, can't wait to get my greedy little clutches on your RS-6. EG

Did you hear the nymph guys trying to explain to the newbie how to
cast lead and nymphs ? They recommended heaving, tossing and chucking.

Heaving and tossing and chucking is what you do at an all night kegger,
it is NOT fly fishing.

In my humble opinion. ;-)

And I'm glad you've seen the light. ;-) ;-)

Just saw this post. That's probably how they do it in California, but I'd love
to see you cast a nymph with a spinning rod. Oh, yeah, I forgot....you spin
fishers do have that bubble thingy that you use. Not really sporty, however,
dontcha think? It ain't allowed on the waters I fish, and I doubt it would
work.

Why would it not work? Fly suspended on mono under a bobber. Whether
it's a plastic bubble or them fist-sized hunks o' yarn ya'll call
indicators on the Rapid--what's the difference?

First fish I ever caught on a fly was a brim from a drainage canal on a
#14 light Cahill wet under a red and white plastic bobber, using a
closed face Zebco reel and I can't remember what sort of cheapo rod.

Because it's not fly fishing. Fly fishing in the regs of most states I've
fished (where it says "Fly fishing only") required a fly rod/reel. Now if that
Californicator wants to put a fly reel on that spinning rod and use the *line*
to cast it, then *that* would be termed fly fishing. I didn't make the rules,
John.

The 'fly fishing' only waters I have fished were in Yellowstone and in
NC, and both define fly fishing as fishing with a fly regardless of
what type of rod/reel are used.

Well every thing was fine back in Merry Old England until Skues came along,
then it all went to hell.

Not much surprised to learn that you didn't make the rules.......if you had,
one would expect that you'd know them.......which states require the use of
a fly reel in fly fishing only waters?
