I just got back from the OP and watched a silver on the Quilliute (sp) chase and hammer my pink bunny hair, marabou, and flash fly. Don't tell me this is flosing. Sadly I lost this fish but I did catch one on a size 3 Blue Fox, I'm not a fly purist.

This is compleatly off topic but how come it is gear fishermen that trash up our rivers with garbage? :p
Nobody said all fly fishermen are snaggers! I have caught kings in rivers on flys to, actually seen them come up and nail it. However, There are alot of flossers out there, some that dont even know it. While fly fishing you are using the biggest leader anybody can possibly use, there is no obstruction between the fly and the pole.

As for garbage, per capita fly fishermen are just as messy as gear fishermen.

Again, I am not bashing all fly fishermen as I to flyfish sometimes. But people have got to realize that just because somebody is fly fishing doesnt mean they are the ethical elite. Everybody has there faults.

Fly fishermen are kinda of fun to pick on though because alot (not all) seem to have an I am better than you syndrom.
