Please allow me to say the following.
If other fly fishermen were to refer to me as a "fly angler", I would feel well quenched as a fisherman of the fly.

Yes, the hook equates to the angle. The man, and his devotion to the perfect fly presented as perfectly as his devotion to the sport will allow defines an angler. I, for one, feel angling with a fly has surpassed the literal hook and evolved into more than just fly fishing. It epitomizes a fisherman that has transcended the ordinary and reached the extraordinary of angling with a fly.
Something I aspire to and will probably never attain.

E.C. Powell, an extraordinary and innovative builder of bamboo rods, always thought of himself as an angler first. He always signed off on his treatises as an angler. My good friend Dave Male, a fine builder of bamboo fishing rods, puts his building of rods on the back burner when it comes to angling for trout...of which he excels. He is a true angler, earned by many years of love and devotion to fishing for the trouts he so vehemently loves.

So, to me, angling is the ultimate when it comes to fly fishing.

Just a thought and belief on my part.

So Fly Angling Online is just fine with me!
