Loved the fish strike portion.

As far as the rest.......to me it is representative of why I don't mind fishing alongside fly guys.....too much water that can't be fished effectively/efficiently. I used to fly fish for steel back when fish were plentiful and pressure was light (before spey rods became the "thing")and even then it was obvious that I was passing up way too many fish.

Coley's trip would have been an exception. Lots of fish and lots of fishable water and little pressure.

Don't get me wrong. Fly guys get a hat tip from me for effort, but it doesn't attract me to want to participate.
