First of all, I saw this link on Mid Current. Does it make it any more reputable, or Mid Current less reputable? You be the judge. I just thought it was an interesting concept.

No it's not traditional, but I would like to see a PUBLISHED definition of traditional fly fishing? Not what any given anglers opinion is.
Because I will still argue that your engineered graphite super fast rod with a reel machined on a CNC lathe out of a titanium alloy billet is anything but tradional in the eyes ofIzaak Walton.

I think it's safe to say the the definition of "Traditionl Fly Fishing" gradually changes to the point that about every 10 years, there is a new definition, as the new-fangled equipment becomes standard.

If you toss a fly and hook out there, and the fish takes the fly and gets hooked, can you really call it snagging?

If you're fishing a dropper nymph under a dry (used as a strike indicater) is this not the same as a bobber?
