That is also fly fishing, but I submit it is not elitist. It is pretty hard to fly fish with a walking stick in one hand. Mike

The United States is the one country in the world where both are available to anyone who wants to learn their disciplines. They are passtimes that allow the participant to be a part of ancient traditions. Bill Ferguson

Pure preference, but bendy rods take away too much of the feel for me. I suppose that’s the point in exchange for the visual hunting of fish with fly gear, but I like the electric feel some game fish can push through a rod.

It's about having fun while doing so, and giving the fish and game a sporting chance. It's not about piling up big numbers. May God bless America and those who defend her.
