In my reply you'll note several changes/additions to the form.
Obviously you're free to omit them from your results analyses, but I
thought you may want to consider the points they raise. Also, while
this is just my humble opinion, I feel the content of the 'survey'
doesn't truly adhere to the intent implied in the title "Fly vs Bait".
A few examples of what I mean, in #4 you might want to ask how many fly
rods/how many spin-bait rods. #5 might be better worded "In your
opinion...". #9 is rather obscure in intent. Do you mean a problem with
physically baiting the hook or are you referring to aesthetics,
morality, conscience, etc? #'s 11 and 12 are ludicrous in the context
of the purported intent as to the title. #23 might also include the
option of 'streamers' if this is to truly be a fly vs bait survey. And
finally you'll notice I added the option of 'Often' as a response to
several of the queries. Going through the order of 'Never, Rarely,
Sometimes, Always' I think leaves a void that many replies would fall
into, hence my adding 'Often' between 'Sometimes' and 'Always'.

I hope I haven't offended you with my input, that certainly wasn't my
intent. That aside I wish you Good Luck with your project!

Seemed like it to me but I'm always willing to give the benefit of the
doubt. Could be a legit college kid and if so I wouldn't want to turn
him off to the site with negative input w/o solid cause to do so. Ehh,
call me a softy.

It's spam...but Dave it was nice reading your responses to the survey
especially #22.

I was befuddled with your answer to #6 though.

Thanks for that re; #22, it's as true as true can be. As for my reply
to #6 given the 2 choices that was as honest as I could be. I fish both
fly and spin/bait but of the two I spin fish far more, hence the choice
I entered. That's a primary reason I don't post here very much even
though I've been a member since fall on '02. I truly have very little
to contribute in the areas in fly selection, hatches, expertise, etc.
Thank god there is an abundance of accumulated knowledge on this forum
to provide insight and direction to all who come here for it.

I have however gained a great deal of knowledge here as well as having
made some mighty fine acquaintances, and have had the pleasure of
fishing with a good number of the fine gents from here including the
good Mr. Dennis C. himself on the WBD.

So even though you might not see too much from me here I'm always
lurking and looking to provide assistance whenever and wherever I can.
Often I won't even log in unless I see a thread I feel the desire to
reply to.

All that aside, it's almost chrome time! Waterline shows the release
down to 2230cfs till midnight tomorrow (Wed). Seems an odd number but
I'll take it! With luck they'll continue to drop it, hopefully hitting
around 1800cfs sometime soon! Whatever the case good luck this weekend
and I hope to hear from ya!
