    Default anyone know the story about this sign?



    Guess it was taken in Minnesota?

    It doesn't look like a DNR sign.

    Can the locals in MN actually enforce such a CRAZY thing?

    If it is a privately owned facility they can make whatever rules they want. If it's public land and water, I would contact my local Conservation Officer, Game Warden, etc to inquire about the sign. Looks to me like it's probably someone intimidated by fly fishers who catch more fish than bait slingers.

    JUST JOKING!!!!!!!!

    Default sign

    i don't know wading laws in MN...

    Most wisconsin anglers would be attracted to such a sign (waders)

    I think any kind of sign that limits public rights to waterways are wrong.

    Uhhhhhhhhh, unless I'm reading a different sign, than the one you're all saying is "WRONG", (WHICH I AGREE WITH... IT IS! ). What's the difference, between this sign that says "not fly fishing" and the waters WE fly fishermen like, that are posted "FLY FISHING ONLY waters, saying the SAME thing, in reverse, to the spin and bait bunch!??


    Now, if you go to THIS LINK............... http://winnebagovalleyhideaway.com/spring.htm .... about the Winnebago Valley Fishing, they even OFFER "Fly Fishing Hints and Tips" and tout it as a "great Trout fishery"!?
    Although, the link I gave, is for a private sector of this valley, maybe that's it?!

    Default Question

    Just how do you get those tiny flies to stay on them hooks!!??

    HAR!

    If fly fishing is about using flies as lure/bait/enticement, then family fishing should be about throwing one of your family members out there to do the same.

    QUESTION:::: Which member would YOU use FIRST!!?? HA!HA!

    Especially those that cite "environmental" reasons that really aren't.
    Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.
