In light of recent post about allot of spin fishermen using "FLIES".
First of, without trying to come of as an ELITIST, there has been long hard discussions on several FF boards as to what REAL fly fishing is.
Some say it is "FLY" fishing which means only WINGED insects. Then there is the old school ENGLISH that say a fly is a NYMPH or a WET FLY.
Personally I like the idea that a FLY is all stages...(pupa, nymph, emerger, wet, dry...etc)
BUT, I am by no means a purist. I fish San Juan Worms, Eggs, Leeches, and Bait Fish.
The Bait Fish & Leech flies however, are basically lures.
Now we do fly swaps all the time, I was just wondering, do you guys ever do LURE SWAPS?
I have some killer patterns that catch fish on any kind of rod/pole.[bobhappy][fishon]
