"Nymphers"

[Steve Molcsan]

You guys crack me up... In all honesty wet or dry fly fishing I do enjoy it all..

[shortcaster]

I only fish when I'm alone or with somebody.

You're right. Verbal grenades and popcorn do make a person feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[MrFishingToughGuy]

I like doing it just as much as the next guy, but no need to be so judgmental.

Oh wait, you said nymphERS...whoops.

I love throwing dry flies - one of my favorite ways to catch fish.

I will use nymphs for those early season fish in streams.

Sometimes I get angry when I hear of people perceiving us fly fishers as elitist snobs. Other times I realize why.

I wish this had a like button like Facebook.

Isn't all fly fishing dry and wet. The fly starts out dry, but ends up wet.

The real question is that kettle, stovetop or microwave popped corn? Everyone knows microwave popped corn isn't real popcorn at all.

Another popcorn elitist !
If it wasn't for The Movies, nobody would believe that popcorn can be enjoyed by the masses.
There is nothing wrong with microwaving popcorn. I just wouldn't want my Sister to do it.

Like Tyrone said.. don't they all end up wet? mine do, at least the ones that don't end up in the dang trees.
I love nymph fishing, catch lots of fish that way. I also love drys, don't catch as many, though. I've also caught a lot, and I do mean lot, of fish with..... yes.... worms... I release most of my fish anymore, since my boy left home, I'm about the only one who llikes to eat 'em.
I'm guilty of bein an eliteist, though.. I think folks who fish are just hands down the best folks.
I taught all my kids, and all my many neices and nephews to fish, and now my grandkids. Every one of 'em will hook ya up with whatever they're usin to catch fish, give ya some of what they got, loan ya or even give you a rod if something happens to yours, give you a ride home, share they're lunch, their beer, heck, even their whisky with ya. That's what bein a fisherman means and requires. And.. they'll all tell ya this about the dry vs. wet/ bait vs. flies/ lures vs. whatever/ catch&keep vs catch&release. It's what I taught 'em... "On the one hand ya got fishin' - on the other ya got 'ain't fishin' -I think I'll go fishin"
I heard a story about a famous fly fishing author of old who would fish a nymph under a dry and sweeten the nymph with a little chunk of nightcrawler on the hook. That oughta set some a them eliteists up for a case of the shivers !
I'm with Steve, and, I knew he was joshin from the git. And.. don't you guys start baggin' on my microwave popcorn either..... and, remember the tagline one of the longtimers here has at the bottom of his posts.... "Whisky will get you through times of no fish better than fish will get you through times of no whisky" Y'all lighten up and go fishin'....... I'll give y'all some nymphs, some dry's, and even a little nip if ya want one...................Modoc Dan

Well, me myself, I enjoy dry fly fishing, and will fish 95% of the time with drys, BUT, if after awhile I have had nothing even think about any of my fave dry's, I will switch over to wet... Here's another one for ya, a rule I have been able to stick to 99% of the time........... I don't fish a fly unless I tied it! Why? An old timer told me years ago, if you really want"a learn to tie flys, only fish the ones you tie, you'll learn .
