On another site I belong to there's a rather heated discussion where one gentleman insists that weighted flies and weight added to the line should be banned.
This, he claims, will give the fish more of a fighting chance as it will make it harder to get a fly down into the "zone" and the fish will have a sanctuary where they are not continuously harassed
He has a point. It very likely would improve the fishery
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.
