Just remember you all that some fly fishermen are yuppie twat traditionalist douche-whipp'n soda drinkin' tip tasters! The important thing is that it is just "some" of us.

Unfortunately those few often are the most vocal and visible in the fly fishing world because they whore themselves out to become fishing "celebrities".

I fish gear a lot but still love swinging flies for steelhead just like some gear guys prefer swinging metal to side drfting bait. It isn't much more complicated than that.
