Just noticed this from Buddy, 'Sorry, but if you use a fly rod and the weight of the line to cast your offering, you are fly fishing. Don't matter a bit WHAT is on the end of the line. Even a LIVE WORM. Who said that those who want us to believe otherwise have the right, or the power, to frame the definition their way?'

Dang Buddy...what a waste of time it's been to use traditional steelhead flies in the 'fly only' water on the N. Umpqua when all this time I could have been using worms ! :)) No More though ! ....Oh, I've got it...when the ODFW checks my terminal tackle I'll just show them and when they say, 'uhh..dat's a woim'...I'll say, 'no, no...dis is da garden hackle'

Holiday Cheers !
