Just Sayin’

Ran across another guy on the internet going all “whooh and ahhh” about his first experience fly fishing with a two handed rod.  I suppose if I had just dropped a few hundred on a new rod, I’d be telling myself all that BS, too.

Fish how you want says the blind man to the boy, I’m not watching you anyway.

I love to swing flies.  I love to use a few of the basic spey casts when a backcast just isn’t an option.  But I cringe at the idea of restricting myself to frothing the meniscus, and only frothing the meniscus.  I want to be versatile.  I don’t ever want my gear to stop me from fishing a run the way I want to fish it.  Who knows what that way may be, I won’t know till I get there.  But I ain’t going there to cast, I’m going there to fish. just sayin’.
