For give me for saying this.... I'm not a purist by no means .

I'm a Steelhead junkie. My fix of choice, is a swung wet fly grab period I've caught em from corky's & yarn, eggs, and spinners. It's an addiction I know, but I'm seldom ever satisfied. Which constitutes fishing every weekend from July to Nov. Only the agonizing cold drives me to stop. Call me what you will but I speak the truth.

Peace.

Personally speaking, catching these critters on the swing, regardless of method, gives the most immediate high. True for corkie and yarn, bug, or spoon.

But My preference is on the drift, regardless of method, since it pokes at my inadequacies to make me a better fisher. I love to feel the snag that isn't a snag. Almost happier than a spoon take down. The engagement for me is real and immediate. Keeps me focused. I think this is where personalities comes in to play for types of fun and satisfaction.

Tight Lines!
