Who here fly fishes?
I have been fly fishing this summer, because I live in Wyoming and its a big thing, but I am from Louisiana.
I hear people say fly fishing is an art, blah blah blah.
I am well educated and certainly not less nuanced in my mind than another person, but I think fly fishing sucks.
I can catch about fifty bass on a lake in Louisiana with a hot spinning rod, and I can spend hours on a tough creek in Wyoming with my fly rod and catch two. Then the guys at the fly shops tell me that is a good day for that creek.
Fly fishing sucks right? Fishing is about fish, not art.
I like fly fishing in a drift boat with buddies, because then its just an easy time with your friends, but otherwise, even when I am catching fish, I don't find it all that thrilling.
I like to reel'em in.
I don't set the hook particularly hard.
I just feel like big fish are down under, and unless I use sink line, fly fishing doesn't get me to the hogs.
i fly fish in arkansas on the white and north fork rivers for trout. i also fish for smallmouth on the buffalo. i can go to white river and catch all the trout i want on a rod and reel withbait... i guess it's about trying to fool the fish with something that looks like a bug. plus i find it very relaxing just me and the river and the fish
