I have often wondered about this but never asked. I personally do not have a problem with someone dragging a fly behind their water craft as a technique for catching fish. However, it has occurred to me that this technique may be offensive to some fly fishers and perhaps even illegal in some areas.

I am interested in hearing your opinions on this as I am considering using this technique for walleye and muskie in our area. The last thing I want to do is offend any flyfishers I may meet or break any laws. So far as I know this is a legal technique in most of our waters but is it considered taboo to our sport? What are your thoughts and opinions?
