I'm fairly new to fly fishing (8 years now) but have been fishing since I was a little boy. I just enjoy fishing. I only fish for trout with fly, but I'll break out the spinning rod occaisionally for some smallmouth action. Not that I don't fish for them also with the fly but sometimes they want a tube jig, and only a tube jig! If I go home to Florida and hit the salt looking for some table fare, I might even resort to throwing a live finger mullet out there for a flounder or black snapper. I can understand why some guys only flyfish, an dI respect that decision, but I prefer a fish on the line over calling myself a purist.
