Sorry you must of misunderstood my last post...
My main statement goes that the REAL reason from the beginning of Flyfishing time is that dudes use Imititation eggs or flies because of durability. So if you can get a REAL fly or egg to stay on your flyline, go for it and good luck on it staying on! I also did mention that there is an adrenalin difference when you catch a Steelhead on a fly as opposed to eggs on a flyrod.
No biggie to me, I'm just not trying to be tooo technical on the Real definition on Flyfishing. I'm trying to stay faaar away from being labled a purist or elitist... I consider myself a complete fisherman, more so leaning toward Flyfishing.
