float fishing
I've seen people float fishing with large single action reels. I was wondering
what the attraction is to using this type of reel. |

float fishing
What do you mean by "float fishing"? What single action reels? Fly reels
are single action. Mooching reels (very large fly reels are single action. You cannot cast with a single action reel.....maybe 10 feet at most. Where did you see this. What kind of fish were they fishing for? Not enough detail here. "Gone Angling" wrote in message ... I've seen people float fishing with large single action reels.

I think they are mooching reels. They were using them for salmon and steelhead
with spawn bags as bait. They seem to be able to cast with them. |

From your post I see you're something of a newbie to the diverse and wonderful world of Angling here in Canada. Indeed it's possible to cast as far as any level wind with a Centrepin reel-I see it all the time although I don't own any of that gear m'self. Centrepins are more popular in Ontario than here in BC-the best site for that kind of casting is found here http://www.spiderwebguru.com/cgi-bin...nfig.pl?#27192 Some info here http://www.coastangler.com/fishing/c...in_reels.shtml |

float fishing
Au contraire salmon guy. I worked for many years as a conservation officer
on a territory that offers fishing. I often worked at the main gate where on some weekends, over 4 thousand people would pass. I got lots of questions. To most people, "float fishing" is using an ordinary rod and reel combination and a small float for panfish. To others, "float fishing" is fishing from a contraption mainly comprised of inflatable bags of air so the fisherman is sitting in it while his feet dangle into the water underneath. Many people consider bait casting reels as "single action reels" while others consider "center pin reels" as open faced spinning reels. I know that you can cast from a center pin reel but I would not want to use it for long distance surf casting. Once you get one of those single action reels spinning, they won't stop and tangles are a mess. If the original poster had mentioned that it was for river fishing for steelhead or salmon, I would not have asked for more details. wrote in message ...

To others, "float fishing" is fishing from a contraption mainly comprised of inflatable bags of air so the fisherman is sitting in it while his feet dangle into the water underneath. That's called 'Tube Fishing' not float fishing. Using the logic you're trying to employ sitting in a boat could be called 'float fishing'-it isn't never has been/never will be.

I told you I see them in use all the time on rivers here did you check the links you were given? Why do you think that once a spool is moving it can't be stopped-how do you stop your car-have you ever heard of a brake? Centrepins have them too!!!

If you weren't in such a hurry to flaunt your ignorance you wouldn't have to lie to cover your sorry ass.

float fishing
So why aren't we all using this kind of equipment for everyday fishing? The
modern open faced spinning reel is an offshoot of the center pin reel. Some center pin reels even pivot so casting is just like using a spinning reel. In the eastern part of Canada, there are no center pin reels. It's plain to see that your social skills are lacking so I won't try to explain to your narrow little self-centered mind that from different parts of the world, there are different languages and common everyday items have different names. When I said conservation officer it was to explain that I was "Agent de Conservation Auxiliaire" on a territory called a "Zone d'Exploitation Contrôlée". I had jurisdiction to make sure that provincial and federal rules and regulations were respected on that territory. The "ZEC" I worked is the "ZEC Martin-Valin". You can find it on the internet. My job was to sell "fishing passes (droits de pêche), fishing licences, give fishing information (rules, regulations, tips on where to go and what to use) and sometimes site people for infractions. I was also hired as a biologist. And I was also hired to protect the environnement and the wildlife. "ZECs" are run and managed by non-profit organizations such as fishing associations. People from all walks of life and from everywhere came to fish, hunt, camp, canoe etc. Some tourists came from Europe and the U.S. All of them had special names for certain pieces of equipment. Don't bother answering....I have blocked any further postings from you. "Sam Salmon" wrote in message ... On Mon, 22 Dec 2003 12:18:16 -0500, "smiles" wrote: Au contraire salmon guy.
