I own up to being like Ivory Soap... only 99.46% pure for fly fishing. Occasional forays out with either powerbait or lures like the Dick Nite.

Now if baiters ever tried catching trout on fly rods they might be in for a surprise. Fish fight better on lighter rods. It makes the 10-13 inch planters seem bigger or friskier than they really are.

For those who are curious, I used a 1 weight last year on a remote lake up in BC. Far enough back where we spotted 8 bears and one moose on the drive in.
