FF, I fully understand what you are saying about what the resources could be, and I'm all for catching more and bigger trout. I do think there are more productive ways to have your message heard, than by calling all people that don't flyfish non-sporting. If the state was to ban all bait, and made all lakes selective fisheries, what percentage of people would quit fishing? How expensive would it be for the state then? So what if people want to limit out on 6-7" stockers, they bought their license and it says they are entitled to 5 fish per day and if that makes them happy so be it. I fish Canada every summer and the most popular method I've seen is pop geer and worms, how sporting is that? I don't like that approach but if they do who cares? I don't want to get in a pissing contest here, but when all you flyfishers out there start in on your way being the only way it does get me a little testy. Oops I did what you've done and lumped all you snobby, self-rightous elitists together. Oops I did it again.
