Fly fishers taking over UA?
« on: June 20, 2013, 11:26:19 AM »
Whats happened here on UA?


All of a sudden there have been a lot of threads on flyfishing.


Is it becasue the BEEG boat boys have flat batteries?

there is no casting when Czech nymphing - in fact you dont even need a fly line. Apparently the technique was developed when anglers could not buy fly lines in the old eastern block countries, so they innovated and designed this technique

This has been a very hot topic before and some pretty nasty things were said . ”Bird Brain “ , “Jou ma se …. “ , Dip sh@t” and and
 
 
For the purists Chech nymping is definitely not fly fishing in the traditional sense . But you are still landing a fish on fly !!!
 
So for the sake of peace , lets let this one go …

I was wondering when this fight was due.
I fish because I enjoy it and I use any technique that I enjoy and because I get to share a cold one with the boys - the next topic up for discussion is sliding whole mackies and occie legs for barble in the vaal...

Having mingled a little bit with "Fly fisherman" I have noticed that that there are 3 distinct goups

1. Absolute purists - will only fish with custom made rods/nets and only target wild trout. Does not mingle with the lower classes.
2. Somewhat Purist - will target most fish sometimes mingle with the masses.
3. Rabble - Will target any fish in any way he can, carries a supply of windhoek and does not give a rats a$$ about what the others think.

There are exceptions to the rules as well.

I are be a rabble!
As long as I can get a fish on the other end of the line and the fish ate wat ever was on/next to/ close to the hook. I'm happy! The fish could have eaten the fly out of hunger, shock, self defence or anger I do not give a rats furry behind!
Cheers :2m: :beer:
