The guys I like to flyfish with are upstanding citizens (you know the kind who like to swear a lot, drink skunky cheep beer, and buy scratch tickets before every outing for good luck). Any little ***** with his $600 spey rod telling me about catch and release and refusing to help a brother out when asked about hatch/fly pattern should go fish some pay to play lake and leave my water alone. I know plenty of those jokers...and you wonder why a lot of good fisherman get a bad rap.

But let's face it, if you are a die-hard flyfisherman telling everyone that bait fisherman are jerks for "powerbaiting" just because you are bitter that your expensive ass setup isn't catching fish, then you fall into the eliteist category. Don't hate on the powerbaiters, you know you all started out with the same setup...or a worm and a bobber - what's the difference? Everyone should chill out...I see powerbaiters clean out my favorite lake every day and I bet you anything that I can still go out there in my float tube and catch fish all through the summer.

Just my opinion.
